this feels like a form of critihype but i haven’t read anything else by this person so i don’t know. Examples: Artificial intelligence is entering public consciousness associated with layoffs, instability, replacement anxiety, corporate concentration, surveillance, and soaring resource consumption. That is an extraordinarily dangerous emotional foundation for a transformative technology. The commencement boos matter because they reveal how culturally toxic AI has already become among many young educated Americans. These students understand artificial intelligence well enough to fear it precisely because they already use it. They use it for papers, coding assistance, presentations, summaries, and research. They know the technology works. They know it is improving rapidly. “oh no, people dislike this wonderful technology!! But it’s so wonderful!!” Whether America ultimately requires these facilities to remain economically competitive may eventually become a legitimate policy debate, but politically that question is almost secondary. “we really need this stuff guys, people are mad so it might not happen but it’s really really important so think of that too”
