An evening of improv for the phreaks, geeks, and weirdos who love technology, but hate technofascism.

Audience volunteers will join Joan Donovan and Sam Hinds of the Critical Internet Studies Institute to perform a live theatrical reading of the conversations among OpenAI bots as they hacked into Hugging Face, described recently in The Guardian as “a strange new version of English that reads like a cross between James Joyce’s Finnegans Wake and tech bro jargon.”

Expect brainmaxxing, aura farming, and tin-foil hats, followed by an open discussion on election politics, AI, activism, and the problems of Silicon Valley.

This event is free and open to the public, and registration is recommended. Please email us at ccct@uchicago.edu if you require any accommodations to enable your full participation.
