“Now it’s your time to realize your dreams,” he told graduates. “The timing could not be more perfect.”
My dream is a world without ultracapitalist CEOs.
My dream is that when I search something on the web I get results 100% arranged on relevance with no commercially motivated rearranging of results. I also dream about ad free OSs, but that one came true for me back in 2005 (thanks Linux!).
I thought linux came out around 1992?
that came true FOR ME
Not everyone adopted Linux the moment it was released
Lost_My_Mind is calling Linux gay
It’s one of the steps of Fully Automated Luxury Gay Space Communism, so that checks out.
Man, I can’t wait for gay space communism, gotta be more fun than this shit we got going on.
Yeah, but I was still pissing in a hole next to the sandbox back then. :-D I got started in late high school/ early college years, went back to Windows for a year or so, then fully committed to Linux going forward.
My dream is a multiplayer marrio brothers on end to end en, something.
Don’t let your dreams stay memes
My dream is chilling by the pool/lake/river doing fuck all with some friends and something nice to drink (alcohol or not).
I can already realize my dream whenever the fuck I want, and AI helps 0% achieving any part of it.
Now it’s your time to realize that dream, the timing could not be more perfect.
Sounds like a threat.
“These graduates are actually both going to be a big part of driving that progress and also dealing with the impact,” he added, referring to AI.
Out of context it sounds like a threat, but in connect it just sounds like vacuous CEO-speak, designed to respond to the question with some words while not actually answering the question.
Vacuous CEO speech is almost always a threat.
People are out here still rooting for the circus ring master when we have known for decades now that they’re beating and enslaving the elephants, tigers, and crew alike, while splitting what the pick pockets get from the crowd while everyone enjoys the show.
I think he meant the people booing are the ones making the threat to Pichai.
In that case, carry on.

Ok, I see why they are so enamored of LLM chat…
Now it’s your time to realize your dreams
Okay, get in!

They can’t even fucking troubleshoot basic electronics. The less popular the product, the more likely they are to give you instructions that might kill you. Literally kill you, by the way.
These guys pretend they reinvented the Internet after they ruined it.
“…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
Someone should Luigi this guy
Luigi is an automatic upvote. Innocent though he may be. Which he is, innocent. I’m serious, the cops are full of shit, on everything, a manifesto? Gtofo of here, we all wrote that shit after, because health insurance is the devil.
Do you side with Jesus or the Devil?
I side with plumbers
I side who has the best artillery
It’s probably time for all of these billionaires to start being scared of consequences.
What do you think they’re scared of? People booing them?
Unironically, a bit. These people are pure ego, and being booed is actually a thing they take great offense at
I’d settle for all their chefs, security, nannies, janitors etc., to tell them “thought you said AI was going to replace humans?”
They only care about money.
Rebellion
Lol. Yeah I’m sure they’re all adopting this technology because a shit load of people AREN’T using it. That makes sense.
They’re not afraid of “rebellion”, they’re afraid of higher taxes. That’s why they try to convince people to either vote for Republicans or pretend both parties are the same.
Both parties are the same when it comes to committing genocide in Palestine, so with that said, I don’t really care what their domestic policies are. “Do you want to vote for the slightly kinder Hitler or the meaner Hitler? Look at you, now it’s your fault that meaner-Hitler got elected!”
After Luigi, its not the same anymore
If they can’t even impeach trump I’m not getting my hopes up.
They impeached him twice.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_impeachment_of_Donald_Trump#House_vote
The consequences : …
Nothing…
He was Charged with felony first-degree falsifying business records (34 counts)
Verdict: Guilty on all counts
The consequences : …
Nothing.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prosecution_of_Donald_Trump_in_New_York
This begs the questions, “why wasn’t he ever sentenced?” and once he is no longer president can he be sentenced to do hard time for any of those 34 counts?
He wasn’t president when he was sentenced
Well, not technically. He had his sentence “discharged” the week of Jan 6 2025, which was technically while he was not president, but well after he had stolen his second term and it was certain he would be the president in about 2 weeks. So, he can’t be sentenced for those 34 felonies anymore, but I wonder if he would have been sentenced to time if he hadn’t stolen a second term.
Probably not, since the judge who unconditionally discharged any sentence was at the very least a Trump apologist who bent over backwards to give Trump the white glove treatment. At the very least Judge Merchan could have assessed fines equal to the value Trump stole with his crimes, or even put Trump on probation. Nope, just let him off free and clear.
I just hope some enterprising state AGs find more things to charge him with and he spends the last couple of years of his life rotting in prison.
Democrat politicians are not the proletariat lol (except at the local / county-level, potentially)
Thats not really the topic
AI will replace them
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.
They own the platforms.
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.
Some CEOs I’ve met aren’t smart.
The vast majority that I’ve worked with are deeply analytical, highly intelligent and understand people really well. By any measure they are “very smart”.
But what all CEOs are, like most people who get to that level, is incredibly disciplined and willing to sacrifice almost anything to achieve at work. They work insane hours, at least all the ones I’ve seen.
It’s a nice story that it’s just a lottery and once you’re there you’re somehow in some secret club. The reality, at least as far as I’ve seen it, is very different; it’s about what you’re willing to give up to get there.
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.
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?
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
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.
LLMs are really good at avoiding direct answers and spitting out words in sensible order that has absolutely no meanings.
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.
Spoken like a technozealot.
Well, they’re undeniably good at it. Not saying that it’s the only thing they do or they’re good at.
I can see how LLMs can read better than you, for instance.
From the banchode who had uBlock Origin killed from running on regular Chrome 150 because he thinks it’s killing his profit from ads.

r/uBlockOrigin/comments/1tlkaaw/goodbye_chrome_version_150_removes_the/
And of course throwing in AI shite into Chrome with that awfully huge 4gb unwanted addition.
should replace CEOs with AI. They already talk like it anyway 🤷♂️
If you ask AI models to hallucinate what it would do as CEO, they usually say things that are environment and worker friendly, so it would be an improvement. Of course, they would train the CEO AI with nothing but Henry Ford speeches and books about the grindset.
I can definitely see LLM board members existing. They should already be gutting the PowerPoint filter management layer
I look forward to AI slop making the next group of senior software engineers make complete crap because they have no idea what good software actually is.
There’s going to be another market for consultants cleaning up these moron’s mess once again.
Well, think of the bigger picture. After 3-4 generations, there won’t even BE consultants to clean up the mess. No one will know how to code at all. It’s ALL going to be AI.
There will be consultants. Most will be charlatans with an LLM, but there will always be a small number of people who learn the craft because they’re interested… and they will command high salaries by those who understand quality engineering.
It’s not like this is the first time our society has done this. We did it to textiles, then we did it to farming in general.
The difference here is that automation of thought is what’s being promised, but that’s not what’s being delivered. But then, for many of its applications, real thought was never needed in the first place.
Anyway, back to my actual point: manual software development will become a niche hobby like using a hand loom. The skills will survive, but more as a curiosity than a common career path.
I hope I’m wrong, but it all depends on how long it takes the bubble to burst. If the LLM companies get a critical mass of dependence before it does, this will be the result.

THATS WHY THEYRE BOOING!
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.
