Studenten aus Arizona buhen den ehemaligen Google-Chef Eric Schmidt aus, als er während seiner Abschlussrede über KI spricht

> Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang also gave a graduation speech last week at Carnegie Mellon. He struck a more positive tone, arguing that AI would create more opportunities for young people to build anything they wanted.

Well, they’ll sure have a lot of free time to do that **as all the entry level jobs disappear**, Jensen.

What’s your snarky response to that, Jensen?

What’s going to happen when all the mid to senior-level employees age out, Jensen?

Who’s going to replace them, all zero young people who have received job experience from the non-existent entry level jobs, Jensen?

I can’t remember the last time any sort of technology was just shoved at us constantly, can anyone? We’re constantly being told it’s inevitable and then forced to use it. They tell us it will take jobs and then are surprised people hate it. There’s just such a large scale effort to bring this shit up everywhere at every moment

The students booing AI adoption are not Luddites waving pitchforks at the moon. They are responding to the smell of the thing.

AI is being introduced to the public with the manners of a landlord and the vocabulary of a TED Talk. We are told it will make everything more efficient, more innovative, more competitive, more inevitable. Very good. Lovely words. They gleam nicely under conference lighting. But outside the ballroom, graduates are looking at the job market and asking a much less decorative question: where, exactly, am I supposed to enter?

That is the part the evangelists keep skipping over. They talk about productivity gains as if productivity were a weather system, something that simply arrives and blesses the fields. But gains go somewhere. If AI makes companies richer while young workers lose the first rung of the ladder, then this is not progress. It is enclosure with a chatbot interface.

The answer is not to stop AI. That is fantasy. The race is real. Countries, companies, schools, hospitals, banks, and governments are going to use it because the strategic advantage is too large to ignore. But there is a difference between advancing a technology and marching society into it like livestock.

If AI is powerful enough to reshape the knowledge economy, then it is powerful enough to fund the transition it creates. That should be the bargain.

If you lose your job because of AI, there should be income support. If you cannot get a job because the entry-level work has been automated, there should be a pathway into paid training and real placement. If companies save millions by replacing labour with automation, part of that surplus should go into a displacement fund. If data centers draw on public infrastructure, communities should receive more than noise, heat, and a brochure about innovation.

This is not anti-AI. It is the only pro-AI position that does not require pretending people are stupid.

AI competitiveness is real. So are social morale, political stability, career ladders, public trust, and the basic dignity of not being told to “adapt” by people whose adaptation plan is stock options.

A society that sacrifices all of that in the name of speed may not become more competitive. It may become brittle. And brittle things do not lead revolutions. They crack.

So when students boo, I do not hear ignorance. I hear a generation recognizing the absence of a social contract.

Advance AI, yes. But tax the gains. Protect the displaced. Preserve the ladder. Fund retraining that leads somewhere real. Make the machine pay rent.

Otherwise, do not be shocked when people look at the future being sold to them and decline to applaud.

„Why does everyone hate this new technology that we’re forcing down everyone’s throats and promises to eliminate millions of jobs?!“

Misleading headline

“Students‘ boos grew louder when he mentioned AI.”

They were already booing him

this is a fun trend. Keep it up!

He’s lucky all he got was boos. These bastards deserve rotten veggies thrown at them…. And that’s the warning

Fuck yea. So pleased to see sanity

The agenda runs deep

„why don’t you love AI guys?“

Maybe it’s time for grads to rush the stages these billionaires are standing on

I’m in the boot camp that AI/ML is an extremely powerful tool when used appropriately (but at the end of the day it’s literally just linear algebra). However, the reliance on LLMs and the general initiative of “we need AI for everything” has set a poor precedent for the actual uses for AI/ML (like in identifying cancer cell for medical research. Or as a building block for more advanced meteorological forecasting).

To my fellow Wildcats: good on you. Bear down.

This is worse than the last one in some ways. He didn’t just say that AI is the future. He basically also said “you better get used to it.” Like fuck him, how about we completely reject it.

Just another out of touch billionaire.
