This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I see no reason to listen to what that guy has to say on this topic. He's only out for money and you can't believe a word he says and he's not an expert on it.
This sounds like a threat...
They hate it. Keep doing it.
I think both sides are correct. AI will be still around a decade and centuries from now, and AI poses great risks. The real question is, "Who controls it?"
Hopefully the students do not try to destroy the loom, but instead try to make sure that they are so common and easy to use, that corporations do not have genuine control over the usage of AI. Every minority should have a digital lawyer that has 95% of the ability of Disney's, to protect people from Kavenaugh Stops. Every poor person should be able to manage their finances just as well as the most blueblooded billionaire. Every household should own a home server and a robot, leasing their usage to corporations. Those corporations shouldn't own the AI nor robots.
What I am saying, is that we should structure society to ensure that the worst people are not our masters forevermore. Their goal is to control the means of production, and to remove our lives from the process. Both figuratively AND literally.
should replace CEOs with AI. They already talk like it anyway 🤷♂️
I can definitely see LLM board members existing. They should already be gutting the PowerPoint filter management layer
If we crowd source a rocket i am told they don't ask questions when we offer them a seat. Oh wait, that was just another lie. I guess a guillotine would be more cost effective than a rocket...

Make the Guillotine Great Again!
These folks just don't get it.
Let's put aside the discussion of whether their enthusiasm for the tech is merited or not, that is beside the point.
A commencement speaker is not there to talk about themselves or their favorite things. They are not there to teach the graduates anything or try to debate with the graduates.
A commencement speaker is there to honor and respect the graduates. To commend them on how far they have come and express optimism for what they will bring to society in the future. To make them feel appreciated for all they have done and are about to do. To feel inspired by what they have accomplished and the possibilities they bring to society. There has been and will be plenty of opportunity to educate, debate, and convince them, but this is not the venue for any of that.
Speaking about how "awesome" AI is and how they should be grateful for it is disrespecting them by failing to let them be the focus of their own graduation.
it'll be hilarious when all this shitware collapses in on itself under the weight of the actual costs.
And the actual costs are starting to hit https://thenextweb.com/news/microsoft-claude-code-retreat-ai-cost
Also to rouse and inspire them.
"I'm working on a machine that will make you guys redundant, and then I'll make those booing me see. l'll make you all see." is hardly going to do that.
He would be much better off talking about how it was the stuff of science fiction not long ago, and how the graduates would be helping to push humanity forward, and make real, things that were also previously considered impossible.
Some of the talks are also just really bad. I've seen a few, and they're little more than ads, or bragging about a thing the institution is doing that's unrelated to the graduates themselves. Saw one where the speaker was talking about how the college was using AI for various things. Why even have that in the graduates' speech?
the "Some of you may die" speech by Lord Farquaad from Shrek would be too on-the-nose, tho.
All the supposed top education developed Pichai and it failed. He still believes in the completely fucked up Caste System which leads to his view on AI. He wants to keep the lower class and make sure it remains that way.
This seems like a wonderful time to share this wonderful song

Ooh thank you... hope I remember that trick lol
It’s probably time for all of these billionaires to start being scared of consequences.
It sounds like a vague threat.
Barely veiled I would say.
"...and live with its consequences."
That's why they're booing, you moron.
What a creepy thing to say. The guy pulling the strings on Ai talking about consequences lol
I wonder how he would feel if we then redefined the concept of corporate ownership. "You know those billions in shares you used to own?"
That’s why they’re booing.
I like to infer from this headline that he will NOT live to see the consequences.
"I've always been extraordinarily optimistic about the next generation," he told the hosts. AI, he said, doesn't change that. "My goal would be to share my experiences, and that's what I'm looking to do."
Oh he is going to get booed
LLMs are really good at avoiding direct answers and spitting out words in sensible order that has absolutely no meanings.
You know who's also good at it? CEOs. Replace CEOS.
"I've always been extraordinarily optimistic about the next generation," he told the hosts. AI, he said, doesn't change that. "My goal would be to share my experiences, and that's what I'm looking to do."
I had some money left over this month, so when I noticed my old phone seems to be bulging slightly, I decided I could splurge a little and spend just under 300€ for a decent second-hand one.
But I'm sure his experiences will apply to my situation.
