@GossiTheDog Oxford based philosophy prodcast discussing "prophecy" and how AI companies are pushing a harmful narrative to cash in:

@alisynthesis @GossiTheDog This is very heartwarming.

@GossiTheDog Imagine booking someone who works for an offshore tax cheat private equity firm to give a speech about the benefits of AI and vulture capital to a crowd of students who are the generation who will be hardest hit by both, who have studied humanities so have some degree of understanding of why everything they stand for is bad.

@GossiTheDog I'm a little disappointed that no tomatos were thrown, but I guess food is too expensive to do that with now.

@lettosprey @christianrickert @GossiTheDog really not everywhere. In some places the more vocal supporters are senior and the critics skew younger... seniors can use a tool that poorly replicates what they've done a thousand times... juniors feel lost and abandoned.

@meuwese @lettosprey @GossiTheDog
Usefulness of AI depends on the use case:
People who understand both their problem and AI limitations may use it to their advantage.
People who neither understand their problem nor AI limitations sell snake oil.

@GossiTheDog Just as a practical observation:
- I'm not sure if I would go as a far a "next industrial revolution", maybe tone it down 2 notches. It's a graduation speech so subtract 2 notches mentally anyway, right?
- However: Those people in the audience will, if they want it or not, be impacted by it for the better part of a decade, their first decade in the industry.
Thus, they better get knowledgeable about it and prepare to weather that storm that is coming at them and make the best out of whatever it'll be. Negating or just booing it is not exactly the winning strategy in context of reality I'm afraid here. And I'd hope their degree programs did a good job at preparing them.
No rotten tomatoes, eggs etc were applied, so all good I guess, eh?

@jti42 @GossiTheDog They sound plenty knowledgeable to me about the bullshit that tech capitalists are trying to get away with in their belligerent attack on workers, the planet, and society as a whole.

@jti42 @GossiTheDog I think it's more that they've spent the last couple of years hearing the leaders of most of the places they're hoping to get jobs at talking about layoffs and not hiring entry-level positions because of AI. Whether or not something is productive for the larger economy or even their personal proficiency levels, you're not going to get cheers from people who are personally facing tougher odds for getting what will be worse jobs.

@GossiTheDog Up to that point, earlier on she was singing the praises of Jeff Bezos and others, and holding him up as an example of something good, "of course he was valedictorian of his high school class!" etc etc..
