Ted Chiang: "The task that generative A.I. has been most successful at is lowering our expectations, both of the things we read and of ourselves when we write [...]. It is a fundamentally dehumanizing technology because it treats us as less than what we are: creators and apprehenders of meaning."

“It feels emotional to us because this happened at Playwrights; it happened under Jeremy O. Harris. We feel these people to be our allies—they are our allies. Our issue is not with each other but with a system that considers one group central and the others as disposable.” @newyorker.com #TheaterSKY

Women Playwrights Lose the Limelight
After years of progress in diversity, many companies’ upcoming slates feature mostly, and in some cases entirely, male-writer lineups. The backslide has prompted an outcry.

As a resident of Los Angeles, my heart is breaking to see the devastation being caused by the fires. My family evacuated today due to the #PalisadesFire and while everyone is safe, so many others across our city are not and have lost everything.

I've donated to the California Fire Foundation’s SAVE program, which brings immediate, short-term relief to victims of home fires throughout California as well as supporting fire departments to help roll out this vital program giving fire departments and districts the opportunity to help victims in their own community. @cafirefound

If you are looking for ways to help, there is a link in my bio to support this program, and I’ll continue to share resources and ways to help. Stay safe.
