  1. qwant news | Artificial Hype, Authentic Resistance

    AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

    Students at recent commencement ceremonies are openly booing speakers who glorify artificial intelligence, signaling a growing backlash against the techno‑utopian hype promoted by Big Tech. The article argues that the current wave of AI tools—mostly large language models—are marketing constructs far from true human or artificial general intelligence, lacking emotional understanding, moral judgment, and often producing harmful outcomes. It links this over‑optimism to a modern form of digital eugenics, warning that biased algorithms can reinforce historic patterns of scientific racism and elitist control. The piece also highlights the economic bubble surrounding AI automation, noting that most companies see little return on AI investments and that costly, error‑prone systems are already disrupting education and healthcare. Ultimately, the youth’s anger is framed as a justified response to an industry that overpromises, underdelivers, and jeopardizes both jobs and the environment while ignoring the fundamental limitations of the technology.

  2. ‘F*** this guy’: #Graduation speakers keep getting booed for talking about #ArtificialIntelligence

    Commencement speakers want new graduates to feel optimistic about artificial intelligence — instead students are booing. New grads tell Josh Marcus that their fury about doddering policymakers and looming layoffs should be listened to

    "From coast to coast, commencement speakers have faced an audience of booing graduates each time they bring up artificial intelligence.

    "The boos came when music executive #ScottBorchetta told the grads at Middle Tennessee State University, 'It’s a tool. Make it work for you.' The capped-and-gowned University of Central Florida crowd jeered when real estate executive #GloriaCaulfield called #AI the 'next industrial revolution.'

    "But no one got it worse than former #Google CEO #EricSchmidt, whose May 15 speech at the University of Arizona was booed, nearly without interruption, for minutes on end.

    " 'It was honestly one of the most surreal experiences,' Bailey Ekstrom, 21, an economics and political science graduate who was in the crowd, told The Independent. She had never seen campus opinion so unified, a mini-referendum suggesting the generation inheriting the post-AI world isn’t all that thrilled about it."

  13. NBC News Top Stories | Arizona college skips several graduates after an AI malfunction at commencement by Doha Madani

    AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

    At Glendale Community College in Arizona, President Tiffany Hernandez was booed by graduates when she disclosed that the school had used an artificial‑intelligence system to read names during the commencement ceremony, a glitch that caused several students to be omitted from the live roll‑call; she apologized, explained that omitted graduates could still come onstage for photos and name announcements, and noted the school would not be able to redo the walk. Maricopa Community Colleges issued a statement apologizing for the disruption, and the incident echoed a wider wave of backlash at other U.S. graduations where speakers mentioning AI—such as former Google CEO Eric Schmidt at the University of Arizona and a real‑estate executive at the University of Central Florida—were similarly booed.

    I'm using ChatGPT as a high level architect and Codex as the coder to migrate a #Reticulum Bluetooth interface from Python to C++. I'm just the middle manager providing apparatus and machines for testing. Using #Forgejo and #Sqlite to track and document. This is really fun and productive as all get-out! Maybe I should not have ducked the management career path at Oracle?
