Audience volunteers will join Joan Donovan and Sam Hinds of the Critical Internet Studies Institute to perform a live theatrical reading of the conversations among OpenAl bots as they hacked into Hugging Face, described recently in The Guardian as "a strange new version of English that reads like a cross between James Joyce's Finnegans Wake and tech bro jargon.'
