Commencement speaker shocked by graduating class’s visceral reaction to AI
this graduation speech moment is notable, and her amazed shock at having failed to read the room feels instructive.
when you’re inside the bubble, you think everybody else is. but everybody isn’t.

It is truly heartwarming to watch the pro-oligarch/pro-AI bubble slam into the cold reality of an auditorium full of students booing their commencement keynote.
The schadenfreude at this bootlicker stammering is surpassed only by the sheer joy when the camera pans to the students.
Every university administrator needs to watch this clip of the University of Central Florida commencement speaker Gloria Caulfield.

I was part of the class graduating. Mind you this happened during the ARTS AND HUMANITIES - School of communication and MEDIA ceremony. So majors like game design, film, and the arts in general, this majors feel a treat to find jobs due to AI, and we are taught to deal with this huge human disconnection, and how beneficial yet damaging it can become in our topics of study. It was a very out of touch and controversial topic to speak about. And let me also add that she started the speech talking about Jeff bezos and praising him.
