Love this: "In a moment of overwhelming, near-identical social media options and the increasing dominance of artificial intelligence, In Corpo is perfectly timed: a musical that understands technology’s wonders alongside its limits, and prizes human connection above all else."

Some late-breaking thoughts on IN CORPO, an excellent sci-fi dystopian musical that (sadly) closes tomorrow - plus ILLINOIS reflections @DutchKillsNYC @assemblytheater https://t.co/CoKYWpp7WZ

...Without such efforts, the vast cultural resources of our existing public institutions risk becoming mere training data sets for A.G.I. start-ups, reinforcing the falsehood that society doesn’t exist."

What I'm reading while producing @assemblytheater's Kafka-meets-AI #InCorpoMusical

[Evgeny Morozov @evgenymorozov]

Under neoliberalism, A.G.I. will always favor adaptation over transformation. Yes, a post-neoliberal utopia *might* find other uses for it. But if making A.G.I. socially useful presupposes ending neoliberalism, A.G.I.-ism won't do it. Quite the contrary. https://t.co/4HWjxqm1vX

And as theaters & artists struggle to survive in this socio-economic climate, this resonates: "Wouldn’t our quest for augmenting intelligence be far more effective if the government funded a Manhattan Project for culture & education and the institutions that nurture them instead?

Theater Review (NYC): ‘In Corpo,’ A New Musical – "a strange, fascinating trip through a dystopia that both Franz Kafka and George Orwell would recognize...Smart, soulful, and above all truly original" https://t.co/Y9xNtPhF9O @assemblytheater #theater

@BrianLehrer Is there any data about the risk of vaccinated people developing long Covid if infected? Even if we're unlikely to be hospitalized due to a breakthrough infection, are we protected against lasting symptoms? (Thanks!)

As your constituent @BrooklynDA, I call on you to release people from NYC jails, stop seeking unaffordable cash bail, and publicly support shutting down Rikers. Today a jail sentence is a death sentence. #EmptyTheCages #ShutDownRikers https://t.co/j3pJRBL9vj

[Icons/Idols @byzie_empress]

New episode day! In Ep8 "A New Crown," it's four years later & Leo rules alone, while Irene is locked in her rooms & kept from her son. Staurakios fears the rising power of the iconoclasts led by Cyra's brothers, but a sick Leo pushes him away.

Episode 7 is out now! Leo and Irene celebrate their new happiness as they take power, but Cyra uses baby Constantine's innocence to devastating effect.
