    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.

    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?”

    It’s probably time for all of these billionaires to start being scared of 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.”

    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.

    I like to infer from this headline that he will NOT live to see the consequences.

    If we ignore what they are calling “AI” then the consequences will be beneficial to all. So, yes, we’ll live with those consequences.

    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.

      Spoken like someone who has never used one. I guess this is the place where you can make laughably indefensible comments as long as it fits the vibe.

      It’s a natural consequence of our society which divides people into teams without any room for discourse in between. The team you’re on is always right 100% of the time, and the opposing team is full of utter and complete evil morons.
