> There is a more of a generational divide in perception and discussion. I would also say there is a loss of nuance.
The youth are facing an enormous employment crisis. Many have found themselves completely unemployable through no fault of their own.
And then AI leaders go around to commencement speeches to rub it in.
There's no loss of nuance, the situation has just escalated a lot.
And then AI leaders go around to commencement speeches to rub it in.
This is a good example of anti-AI bias.
This didn’t happen. Out of thousands of commencement speeches across the country, a handful of speakers, none of whom are “AI leaders”, mentioned AI in passing and students booed.
So yeah, I’d say there’s a loss of nuance.
"This didn't happen, except for that few times where it did happen and massively blew up in the media"
That you fail to understand why those students took such great offense to what was said at those speeches doesn't make it "anti-AI bias".
Those students reacted like that, and I used it as an example, because it's very emblematic of how tech companies and leading figures act.
I'm specifically saying that AI leaders didn't go around making pro-AI commencement speeches. At all.
The absolute closest example is Schmidt, who was last CEO of Google more than a decade before ChatGPT launched, and is now CEO of an aerospace company. No other "AI leaders" gave commencement speeches where they were booed.
So you're blatantly lying and spreading misinformation to feed a negative narrative about the companies and executives in the AI space, then doubling down when called out. Reminds of Vance saying that he's willing to "create stories" in order to draw media attention to his cause-du-jour.
