She's a Real Estate VP. Out of touch by default.
Who chose a real estate VP for commencement speaker in the first place. That's the peraon we should be calling out of touch.
It's Florida, her company probably donated a ton to MAGA.
I mean it's UCF. "Out of touch" would be an improvement over their normal
probably the University dean, fanboy . like how they chose GENOCIDAL supporting SEINFELD for darthmouth commencment, and butke for another college.
https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/graduation-speaker-booed-ai for an article you can actually read.
I had to watch the video. She looks so confused when they start booing. She tries laughing it off, says something else to tout AI and is booed again. Completely tone deaf.
She gets booed, regroups, then says "two years ago AI wasn't a part of our lives" and then gets cheered for it 🤣
Yeah but she doesn't realize that the people are cheering because they miss those days
She definitely did lol watch the full video, she's totally surprised.
Given the joyful Industrial Revolution comparison, we’re wondering whether the real estate VP is familiar with the history of the term “Dickensian.”
They are, and have been rapidly re-creating it.
Thanks I just assumed everyone on Lemmy donates to 404. Someone else posted the video in this community too. Pretty hilarious.
I thought the background was baked beans
This is Lemmy, after all.
She tried to justify AI by citing the success of the Internet? The Internet was not created for the express purpose of replacing workers.
And in contrast to the avalanche of slop we are currently enduring, the pre-commercialization era of Internet was wild, in a fun way. Yes, we had slop back then too, but it was naïve, gorgeous, hand-crafted slop.
Importantly, the dot-com reaction ranged from "wow this is cool and revolutionary" to, at worst, "ehh.. I don't get it, seems pointless?" No one would have booed someone for praising the good old "information superhighway" back in the day, but many might have scoffed.
For the GenAI, people just actively despise it. It amplifies slop-happy humans to insane degrees, the infrastructure build-out strains local grids and water. Even as a community comes out to say in unison they don't want a datacenter, somehow community governments green light it anyway, over their objections. And so many people are swearing up and down it'll get rid of jobs.
For a new graduate from an Arts and Humanities college especially.... There's like zero reason to cheer and only reason to boo.
The number of competent experts who are impressed by an LLM wielded in their specified field, is as vanishingly infinitesimal as legitimate and justifiable invocations of the term ‘AI’.
Those who have expressed the greatest enthusiasm for ‘AI’ are typically the farthest removed from actual, nuanced comprehension.
It’s a grift economy built on statistically luke-warm, vibe lobotomised corpses.
Problem is the targe is not the competent experts, but the managers of the competent experts, who have basically eternally been inherently skeptical of those experts and looking for the flimsiest hope to discard them.
Many of the best and most important people let themselves be subordinate to some idiots.
Not pertinent to AI, but just had one of these 'leaders' laying out how some project was going to go and why we didn't even need to bother with any contingencies and that folks would be wasting their time. Every one with a whiff of experience knows these projects don't go as described 90% of the time, and prepping the usual contingencies is less than an hour as long as you just plan to do it in advance. However, the very expensive partner service says they have it in hand, and despite this same partner boffing the last 6 of these in a row, the idiot still has absolute confidence in them...
In short, these guys get put in charge and are idiots and folks let them stay "in charge" because they don't have the will to fight it.
Industrial Revolution: New machines almost instantly made factory owners 1000 to 10000 times wealthier.
LLMbeciles: New machines can't count the 'r's in "strawberry".
New machines can't count the 'r's in "strawberry".
No, they can! They just first need to have a system prompt instructing them to generate and run a python script to do it.
And yet, it's us meatbags being called inefficient.
Also, the industrial revolution fucked over a lot of people during the transition period so even if it was an accurate comparison it's rather callous to celebrate it.
This is precisely why I am suspicious of any and all "disruptive" technologies.
If this technology is so disruptive that it will generate unparalleled wealth for society, then that's enough wealth that you can afford to keep paying the people about to get displaced and their livelihood destroyed. Don't want to do this? Fuck your "disruption".
(And if it's like LLMs, it won't be positively disruptive in any light. It's just a Ponzi scheme for the highest stakes ever.)
And not only that, the only way life got better was by labour unions and regular people demanding a better life
it did have a value in the end, but LLM only just fucks over people and pollutes the planet more aggressively.

Love it how she started looking around when everyone started booing her, like "hey someone tell me what's going on", but there was no Claude around to explain it to her.
That's what happens when you surrender your critical thinking to AI.
I bet the delusional cunt spent the rest of her afternoon asking AI what happened and getting consoled by it.
The kids are alright.
That was such a "don't you have phones" moment.
Amazing how horribly out of touch these folks are.
Her reaction was shock that they weren't totally on board with being excited about their primary competition in the job market.
Who booked this clueless tool?

Shorter Version Gloria Caulfield Booed at UCF Graduation Speech the comments are on fire.
youtubeUser - "Watching this was so cathartic you have no idea"
another User - "I hate when people compare AI to the birth of the internet era and cellphones. Those eras did not have anywhere near the same level of job loss implications and the threat of eradicating as many junior positions as AI does. When boomers make this kind of comparison, it comes off as so disconnected and tone deaf. I hope I'm wrong about AI and that it actually creates massive new industries for entry level workers, but I don't see that happening anytime soon. Not in my lifetime at least. We're about to see mass homogenization of culture and entertainment, significant privacy concerns, mass surveillance, scams, and an absolute gutting of entry level jobs; this is already beginning to happen. I just don't trust corporations and business owners to not squeeze every last cent out of AI agents and only hire employees as a last resort. That's their end game and they don't even hide it at all."
I wish more people would understand that LLMs are "taking" extremely few jobs away. The "chatbots can do a real job" narrative is just there to bump up the stock prices.
A real AI would incur massive job loss, but the job losses we're seeing now being blamed on AI are really just the same normal oligarchal greed at work.
Right now the ai companies are highly substadising their products. They announced recently that it actually costs them more than it does to pay a human engineer to write the same code.
That means it's just a trap. They are trying to get companies to go all in so they will be dependent on them when the engineers are gone and they will raise the price significantly.

The video is on YouTube (for now).
Here's her being introduced (to listen to the entire speech), and here's the sequence the article is about at around 1:21:10.

This is like the groom on his wedding night, going on and on about how fuckable all the Bridesmaids looked, and then being shocked that his bride is pissed off at him.
heh. they turned the comments off on the youtube vid. can't imagine why.
Gotta know your audience...
not when you got a pipe connected to your anus just so you can breath in your own farts. She been to the island no doubt
I remember watching Bill Clinton speak at UCF. He called the school the military simulation capital of US academics.
The school's large population of future debt slaves in the audience (getting worthless degrees in Psychology or Business) didn't understand.
I found it elucidating, being a student of Engineering. I studied with fellow students working in Research Park working on computer vision algorithms, teaching missiles how to be more effective at bombing schools and hospitals abroad. They badly needed the money to pay for the college education.
Few students at UCF were aware of their own school's involvement in the military industrial complex. Clinton was very aware.
This is not a free article. It doesn't load.
If you want to share from 404, copy and paste the whole text here. Else, find another source or don't share it at all.

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
