AI v The Luddites
Come back in time with the Red Shed Players to a period when protecting profit and pursuing growth are more important than social and environmental justice. Nothing is certain about where these technologies will end, nor whose benefits they will serve. Politicians are in the pockets of the wealthy. Peaceful dissenters are jailed by vengeful courts, violent mobs are pardoned.
The past lives in the present.
“It’s disinformation technology generating Artificial Stupidity not Artificial Intelligence.” Jackie, Cafe Owner.
‘AI vs the Luddites’ makes you laugh, makes you sing, makes you think.
