this graduation speech moment is notable, and her amazed shock at having failed to read the room feels instructive.
when you’re inside the bubble, you think everybody else is. but everybody isn’t.

For so many reasons, AI is not the next industrial revolution. The math does not math. The more advanced it becomes the more tokens are spent. The subscriptions people are buying right now are heavily subsidize to the tune of between five and 12 times the cost in tokens. The companies are trying to wriggle out from that real reality. Beyond this is the infrastructure reality that distinguishes data centers from previous bubbles like rail or dot com.

"The math does not math" - well, AI doesn't know how to do Maths anyway 😂 https://dotnet.social/@SmartmanApps/116000100388648367

Raising the question, if the people who own these corporations believe the numbers, their own product produces.
Or the other question of whether the product was trained on their own thinking.

"the other question of whether the product was trained on their own thinking" - that's interesting that you bring that up. We can see clearly the influence of social media on some of the Maths responses, and I have indeed a few times had founders/VC's tell me on socials that I, a Maths teacher, was wrong about order of operations! 😂

I can't imagine "the internet" getting boo'd like that in 2001 Grads would have cheered along for "internet"
Or even like bitcoin in say 2010, lots of people were skeptical but would not have just boo'd
This is remarkably unpopular.

@futurebird @cabel The "internet" didn't bring deepfakes and teenagers being told to kill themselves. Nor did bitcoin have that effect. So far A.I. (LLMs) in the wider public are more damaging than doing good. So this reaction is no surprise to me.

@futurebird @cabel another example, why this so called artificial Intelligence might not be the real marketing hit any longer: bad advice on drugs.
You might as well ask RFK for medical advice, he might be less dangerous than some LLMs
