I ran a short game about how the next ten years of AGI will play out with some famous participants, and someone is turning it into a more complete standalone experience!

Have I mentioned I am designing a Megagame?
I'm designing a 60 person Megagame about AI governance where you get invade Taiwan as a Great Power, short OpenAI* as an investor, or build AGI as an AI Lab.
Come play on 17 October in Toronto. Sign up at thecommonsproblem.com
