Students Boo Commencement Speaker After She Calls AI the ‘Next Industrial Revolution’
(www.404media.co)
"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.
Which is why I studied Philosophy. Sure, a degree like that doesn't tie in to a 150k/yr job at daddy's company quite like a degree business management might (no shade), but I feel like the skills it gave me are suited to just about everything I do. I've spent time in tech, time in the entertainment industry, and time in retail. If anyone is interested in philosophy, I encourage you to pursue it. The way I see it, you have to make your own way in the world anyway you might as well equip yourself with reading, writing, and reasoning skills by pondering age old, potentially unanswerable questions and worry about specializing later.
Just don't Socratease your coworkers. HR might not like that!
