Sundar Pichai can fuck off and fuck himself
“if you boo me I’ll just make AI take your job EVEN FASTER!”
This headline is very confusingly-worded. The graduates are getting booed, which shapes AI’s future? Or the graduates are booing themselves?
Dear Sundar,
AI is going to exterminate us all equally. If anything, you’re probably closer to the front of the line than the rest of us.
Boo this man!
This guy is such an unimaginative wet-noodle of a CEO.
“I have bet the entire company on this technology. My career, reputation, and history’s view of my tenure as CEO are inextricably linked to AI. You should embrace it. You’re making me look bad!”
Hey can we do news stories about what normal people are saying? I’m real fuckin tired of hearing what CEOs and billionaires are saying.
What a bad title, but Sundar Pichai is awful. Break up Google, they’re a monopoly. We need to regulate LLMs.
AI will undoubtedly have it’s place in the future. But the reason the people dislike it, and the people are booing isn’t because AI won’t be useful, it’s because everyone understands what it means, and there are no safety nets in place to stop any of it from happening because all of these companies are full speed ahead and our government supports profit over people at all costs. Major companies are opting to fire intelligent educated people for AI or outsourcing the jobs cheaply to other countries.
What are we supposed to do when our entire economy is based on working for money to buy things and services, and those companies are not going to pay anyone any money? We are heading towards a really dark outcome and nobody seems keen on reigning any of this shit in. That’s why people are booing.
Very much sounds like “keep booing and I’ll give you something to boo about.”
AI, uh, finds a way
If Google’s AI is so great, why don’t we use it to replace Sundar Pichai? Oh, right, executives think they offer something no one else is able to and get to spend their days getting grossly compensated while watching the world burn with their creation
Says the guy who doesn’t have to live with any of the consequences…for now
I know Google abandoned the whole “Don’t be Evil” policy a long time ago but they’re not even trying to pretend to be even remotely decent anymore.
History will not be kind to these out of touch tech CEOs.
**Google creates ONLY 1 job per $15M capital investment**
This is the worst hiring ratio in the history of America.
Google deserves to be booed!
He deserves to be booed, loudly and ubiquitously. AI is an existential threat to humanity. The sooner we all realize this, the sooner we will rise up against it.
How about Sundar Pichai of Google go fuck himself? While at it, he can also invite other CEOs to do the same.
sundar can kiss all of our ass enthusiastically. what an idiot so full of himself
Up until recently, when “tech” billionaires did commencement speeches, it was like “work hard and with dedication and you can make it” and now it’s like “bro buy our AI or get rekt but also it will steal your job anyway” and they then expect people to be excited about it?
Boo them, as loud and hard as possible. It gets to them.
The beatings will continue until morale improves.
Out of touch weirdos.
These people have too much power. We need to return to true meritocracy and rid our society of this hereditary system where we treat inherited wealth as inherited talent.
He belongs locked up in a tiny cage with no electronics.
Why are all these schools inviting tech bros to give sales talks about AI to graduates?
It’s always been somebody to give a motivational, uplifting speech about the future and how the sky is the limit etc not “embrace my product”
Fuck this guy.
I. Don’t. Give. A. Fuck. About. Your. Bottom. Line.
It’s so weird how the poors who are constantly treading water and paying $10k for an ambulance ride hate guys who own whole islands. Who can understand them?! We gave them a free month of premium and everything!!
Pretty sure AI’s future and its next few decades of consequences are being decided by people other than new first year grads.
But nice for him to let them feel agency for what is about to happen to them.
its not like AI is permanent. there is an off switch.
No one who stands to make substantial financial gains from widespread AI adoption should ever be taken at face value when talking about AI.
Yeah, they’ll hopefully shape its future right into the bottom of the trash heap and/or burning cinders where a data center used to be. Bring on the consequences of a better world that hasn’t gone completely insane from this AI brain damage.
Ceos still not living in the real world
These idiots marketed AI as you will be able to fire your employees. I guess they didn’t realize most of us are employees ourselves and have zero employees to fire to gain anything substantial from this.
We are well past anyone honestly believing the rich will save us all once they have everything they desire. We remember the social media promises of bringing us all closer together and how that turned out. These tech lords are obviously full of shit from Elizabeth Holmes to Elon Musk.
