1984? And AI? If Microsoft's Brad Smith is deeply concerned, why shouldn't I still be? And you?

How is your sleep? Are you curled up next to some altar, dreaming of the future just as I did?

你的睡眠怎么样? 你也曲身躺在圣坛旁，像我做的那样，梦到未来么?

Will you then awake, as I, to find your doom over you lustily looming, and in the distance your destruction storming through the breach, with the innocents already wailing?

你会像我一样，醒来发现 你的厄运正在逼近，看到未来，你的毁灭
在无辜的人哭泣声中 正冲破缺口扑来?

Will you cry out in that falling night, what have we wrought?
Or are you teachable, as Faustus was not?

你是否会在那个堕落的夜晚大声呼喊，我们做了什么? 或者你是驯良的，不同于浮士德吗?

- from "Cassandra", Stephen Dale Davison

Microsoft president: Orwell’s 1984 could happen in 2024 Tech executives warned that democracy has to win the AI arms race, in a new BBC Panorama.

Creepy and fascinating. If the truth no longer matters, may as well do fiction well...

Portrait-to-animation AI brings to life Marie Curie, Charles Darwin, and more This is very surreal.

The Beat Behind Cassandra

That eerie out-of-any-time timpani holding Cassandra in its grip was created and performed by:

Michael Schott (drummer) is glad to be a part of the team bringing Dr. Faustus' story into a modern light. He is a musician and drummer, native to New York City. Music has brought Michael to interesting places as a performer and teacher, having played here in New York, the Hudson Valley, and across the globe in countries like India and Ecuador. He is very excited to help out in this show that brings more awareness around AI and our relationship with it.
