Atlantia vs. Pacifica: play the race, then watch the verification slider flip a Prisoner’s Dilemma into an Assurance Game.
Two states. One dangerous technology. First you feel why racing looks safe. Then you see the trap behind that feeling. Then you change one number and watch the whole game flip.
Phase 1 of 4
Feel the bind
You lead Atlantia. Your rival is Pacifica. Both states could push past the agreed limits on frontier AI development, and each suspects the other might.
Each round you choose: Restrain, hold to the limits, or Race, push ahead covertly. No numbers yet. Just decide, five times, against three different Pacifica governments.
