The limelight was afraid, while five actors took their place around a table at a temporary stage in an art exhibition in New York City, which turned into the night theater. The flow of wine and water through the intimate space where the house – full of media – was sitting to watch the premiere of “Doomers”, which is the latest play for Matthew Gasda, which relies loosely on the overthrow of SAM Altman as the Openai CEO in November 2023.
The play imagines the events that took place after the co-founder of Openai and the former chief scientist Elia Soskfar. Despite the clear accurate research that entered into a spying for that night, the theater writer Techcrunch that his goal was not to create a documentary, but rather used this preparation as a picture of the most philosophical questions about the safety of artificial intelligence.
Humans have created for thousands of years a legend and a student about the upcoming humanitarian inventions and the dangers of following them. Like Prometheus, theft of fire and the division of Obheimer’s corn, humanity cannot resist the temptation of its inventions. By playing Gasda, the arts are now wandering in the philosophical debate about rapid technological innovation – cement technology and barons in Zeitgeist.
“Humanities, arts, we can say something about this,” Jasda told Techcrunch. “Perhaps we are financially without teeth and without teeth technically, but we are not without teeth in the way we have the right to represent this world as much as anyone else.”
In Gasda, the company is called Mindmesh, and is called the Selfish CEO, CEO, SETH.
The first act occurs in the Seth “war room”, where he and the closest discussion of those who discuss the advantages of the overthrow of the council, what should be their next steps, and whether the CEO is right to follow up on this technology that changes society. The second verb occurs in the Mindmesh Board Chamber and explains the various concerns among its members, including that the newly repeated SETH may take revenge for those who betrayed it, and that “we will get a competitive competing type.”
It is the central tension of the play that plays on the world stage today – the existential threat to the AI Agency against the existential promise.
“I was expelled to create miracles”
Jasda says he wrote 35 drafts of this play, which he presented to the early fans in August. After more trips to San Francisco-and many writing sessions that CELSIUS later-and arrived with the “Doomers” version that was shown in New York this weekend until February and will be shown in San Francisco in March.
Jasda, known for writing and directing “Daims Square” and “Zoomers”, told us that he wanted to understand the original models of characters and psychology of a group of people who “do not necessarily participate in self -thinking.”
The result is a group of 10, half of which is based on real people such as the CEO of Openai Sam Altman, former coach Mira Moratti, co -founder and President Greg Brockman. Murati served as temporary CEO during executive tremors. The company left in September 2024 to start its private company.
Other characters depend on Helen Toner and Adam de Angelo, two former members of the Board of Directors who voted on feeding Al -Taman; Even Eliezer Yudkowsky, the researcher who called for the closure of Openai before that It ends the world.
Jasda said Neth, the character that relies on the Taman, may be the most likely to photograph it, but it also left a room for the imaginary photography of the characters that the Gulf-VC region will recognize is a cruel believe that porn is the future From Stanford.
“I wanted to extract a sufficient feeling of sincerity and a feeling of reality to make the play difficult and make the characters real effectively enough so that people who already know what happened or know the Board of Directors of AI like, said Jasda, indicating that a copy of the play has been sent Before presenting it for the first time.
Questions that are lacking in the relevant working debate: In the event of the development of Amnesty International, so we can win “us”; In the event of a slowdown to allow the improvement of safety and alignment; Should it be completely closed to protect the human race?
Through these discussions, we see the original models for each letter fulfilled: If there is a choice between winning and recovery, then the character that relies on Atlman chooses to win.
He declares loudly that the council launched it “to create miracles”, and argues that alignment will be “a bad use of a sacred resource.” It is human, as he says, to follow excellence and add that Mindmesh is the “world immune system”, and it is good in the world American-That is, the manufacturer, which will protect us when the rogue “bad” Agi goes.
“The only thing to do is Expectte and Out-ANGINEER,” says Seth. The characters that depend on Mira Moratti and Greg Brockman return largely to Seth, even while insulting them, arguing with the vision of Utopia International, where technology heals the disease and opens travel to space between planets. Serew safety ethics, Alina, “You make her look like a genie in a bottle.”
Gasda sprays dry humor throughout “Domers” – mitigating a tense theme mood otherwise. It also offers humor by picking up the nuances in the culture of Silicon Valley. Polycules and vitamin were mentioned more than once, and at a time, characters take the mushroom width. There are signals to Waymo Robotaxis, and at one time you notice a personality, “I know drinking is a low position, but I really need a drink”, referring to the direction of the Cali-Sober that has passed the Gulf.
Safety questions remain
The events shown in this play occurred about 15 months ago, and a conversation about artificial intelligence has already turned with the safety race in the safety race.
Altman immediately ended up returning to power after Openai’s engineers threatened to resign collectively if he did not repeat. A comfortable new panel has been unified with OpenAi that has been converted into a profitable structure since then under the CEO. Sutskever and Jan League, participating in the Openai team in Openai, have ended now. Other researchers focus on the safety who The interests raised About Amnesty International Labs have also left.
This did not harm Openai.
According to what was reported, the company raised a tour of 40 billion dollars that would estimate it at $ 300 billion, while President Donald Trump promised to protect artificial intelligence from the organization, a new armament ran against China and affiliated with new competitors, such as Debsik, to the circuit. In short, it accelerates the innovation of artificial intelligence, not slowing, just as the character of Seth wants. The question that everyone awaits is whether this is good or not.
Alina, ethics in the play, says: “From the ugly, God is building.” “Because we are very ugly, and it depends on us.”
