Dozens
the local news outlet SFGate estimated it was as many as 200
No mention of how many people are graduating
Reee it's difficult to estimate how big of a deal this was if the total number of participants isn't mentioned.

On wiki it says there are about 1700 undergrads per class, so if it's that plus some grad students at graduation, 200 walking out could be maybe a tenth of the attendees. Sounds pretty noticeable.
Very rare for the ceremony to be the entire graduating class. Its usually broken down by school.

Their ego is disgusting, every time they open their mouths they are met with disdain and they still don't get it.
They don't need to. They're still making more each year than you or I will make in our entire lives.
They make more than we’ll make in our lives before lunch. Every day.
His current pay package is about $233m/yr. That's about $112k/day. I think your math might be off. Even if you make $7.25/hr, you'll make $112k in just over eight years. Still an absurd disparity, but not as far as you say.
BLS lists the median annual salary as $62k. So, he does make more money in a half day than the majority of Americans make in a year. There's no way any one person deserves that much money.

Because this diverges from their day to day and how everyone else treats them. "Surely these students are the ones that are wrong".
I recently read Sarah Wynn-Williams' book about working at Facebork. Among many other revelations (like, her boss pressuring her to describe the blood coming out of her vagina from a post-birth hemorrhage - something so awful I wonder why in the hell I'm even telling this other story) she said everybody there constantly let Zuckerberg win board games. So in addition to everything else wrong with him, that pale-to-the-point-of-translucent tiny man gets to think he's amazingly good at board games.
To her credit, Wynn-Williams kicked the shit out of him at Settlers of Cataan and then even pointed out to him where he fucked up.
Poor people who act like that tend to suffer social consequences. Like getting their asses kicked.
That sort of thing doesn't stop poor people from saying shit like that, but it does teach them to be careful about it. Some of them.
They are probably aware but want to campaign in an effort to change public perception of AI. It will provide less resistance and more opportunities for their company as this gets forced through.
Also, USA lives in a world where someone's word holds no accountability. All companies/media needs to do is keep pushing how great AI is and people will start to believe it. Facts to support their opinions aren't necessary. The blowback seen is probably from the minority of people who care about fact checking and accountability.
And then some of those that walked out will work for Google also due to job market shit fuckery. What a time to be alive
New grads can get jobs?
Not at Google, Amazon, or Meta. Some companies are still hiring new grads to make entry level engineers into their future senior engineers, but it's usually older companies.

"It is the last two letters of my last name, after all."
So, abbreviations start from the rear end now?
Whatever happened to booing and jeering. Chase these goblins off their stage.
Many of these schools forbid stuff like this and will withhold diplomas and such. This i think it's far more effective. Hey up and walk the fuck out everyone sees you and sees them.

stanford is one of those schools that do produce elitists, but less so than places like harvard or yale he speaks to wrong crowd, much jerry seinfeld did at darthmouth.
Jerry Seinfeld can eat a back of dicks for being a zionist shitbag.
