@cabel this singlehandedly restored my faith in humanity
@cabel also, the way she was booed is so potent it made *me* feel socially awkward

@cabel who is this
@aburka @cabel Maybe Gloria Caulfield, Vice president of strategic alliances, Tavistock Development Company? https://www.ucf.edu/news/ucfs-spring-2026-commencement-set-for-may-8-9/

when you’re inside the bubble, you think everybody else is. but everybody isn’t.
@cabel @ShaulaEvans I'm guessing those grads have discovered what the job market is like, since AI-related layoffs.

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.

@cabel given the amount of harm the industrial revolution did to the planet and how it reshaped the society causing mental issues to many workers, I don't think she said anything controversial

@cabel https://escaperoad.org That’s the danger of spending too much time in like-minded spaces — eventually it starts to feel like everyone shares the same perspective. Moments like this can be a pretty harsh reality check.

@cabel Here, too, you’re in an “AI-hater” bubble, but AI is here to stay—just as smashing machines didn’t stop the Industrial Revolution.

@PaniczGodek @cabel the Industrial Revolution also lifted billions of people out poverty and into prosperity. I don’t see AI doing anything like that.

@danbrotherston @cabel Just like AI haters aren’t opposed to the environmental and financial impacts of AI; they’re simply afraid of being replaced and don’t want to learn new skills.
