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...

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

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_mzYS-ET8o

oh fuck you

and your ai

fuck you elon, fuck you sam,

fuck you sundar pichai

you said the chance

that we all die is

around 1 in 5 – was that hype?

or are you really

generating genocide?

Thank you for sharing the song, that was lovely.

Quick Markdown formatting tip: In most flavours you can add 2 spaces at the end of a line to force a line break. Then you can format your block quotes a little prettier without empty newlines:

oh fuck you
and your ai
fuck you elon, fuck you sam,
fuck you sundar pichai
you said the chance
that we all die is
around 1 in 5 – was that hype?

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.

the "Some of you may die" speech by Lord Farquaad from Shrek would be too on-the-nose, tho.

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

[–] MiddleAgesModem@lemmy.world 8 points 10 hours ago (11 children)

What do you think they're scared of? People booing them?

[–] jj4211@lemmy.world 13 points 7 hours ago

Unironically, a bit. These people are pure ego, and being booed is actually a thing they take great offense at

[–] HuePony@lemmy.ml 1 points 5 hours ago

AI will replace them

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?"

[–] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 7 points 7 hours ago

It sounds like a vague threat.

"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

"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.

[–] Bakkoda@lemmy.world 15 points 10 hours ago

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

[–] Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works 65 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

"...and live with its consequences."

That's why they're booing, you moron.

[–] mursejoy@lemmy.zip 16 points 12 hours ago

What a creepy thing to say. The guy pulling the strings on Ai talking about consequences lol

[–] FluidBeef@quokk.au 38 points 13 hours ago

That’s why they’re booing.

[–] Tiger666@lemmy.ca 15 points 12 hours ago

Sundar, my enemy, you are very wrong.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmings.world 20 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

He's going to have to face consequences, too.

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.

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

I’m so tired of hearing reports of what CEOs and billionaires say, as if it was news. These people aren’t smart, they just managed to stay on stop for longest. Quit giving them a platform.

We're living with the consequences of his generation and the generation before him currently. Unaffordable housing, low wages, high taxes, falling apart economies and a constant threat that we'll be replaced as soon as possible to please the CEO lords in the name of short term profits!

[–] LavaPlanet@sh.itjust.works 27 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

This sounds like a threat.
