Matthew Gasda's play 'Doomers' premiered in a New York City art gallery, creatively staged to examine the events surrounding Sam Altman's ousting from OpenAI. While the play draws on real-life incidents involving AI safety concerns, Gasda emphasizes that his intent is not to document these events but rather to prompt deeper discussions about technology's impact on society. The characters, especially the CEO Seth, symbolize the complexity of human ambition and the moral dilemmas posed by rapid technological advancements.
In Gasda's play, the company is called MindMesh, and the egotistical, childish, spurned CEO is named Seth.
The humanities, the arts, we can say something about this...we're not toothless in the way that we have the right to represent this world as much as anyone else.
