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.
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.
This seems like a wonderful time to share this wonderful song

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?
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 sounds like a vague threat.
I like to infer from this headline that he will NOT live to see the consequences.
“…and live with its consequences.”
That’s why they’re booing, you moron.
“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
Sundar, my enemy, you are very wrong.
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.
I love how butthurt these people get when faced with criticism. Like fucking toddlers
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.
CEOs are objectively utter and complete evil morons, though.
If we ignore what they are calling “AI” then the consequences will be beneficial to all. So, yes, we’ll live with those consequences.
Why the double quotes?
Because LLMs and similar generative “AI” tools aren’t intelligent.
Nor, arguably, are they artificial, since the models are grown rather than built.
Thanks.
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.
Most CEOs are smart. They’re smart in the corporate politics that keep one in such a position. They’re apparently doing something right in the eyes of the board members, or they’d be fired.
They are not smart in any sense that benefits humanity. The only thing they benefit is themselves.
“The board” is mostly just CEOs of other companies. All they have to do is vote for each others’ absurd compensation packages, no smartness required. It’s a true circlejerk.
This sounds like a threat.
Enron CEO telling graduating class that they’re the future of energy and you better get in line
