   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.

     For so many reasons, AI is not the next industrial revolution. The math does not math. The more advanced it becomes the more tokens are spent. The subscriptions people are buying right now are heavily subsidize to the tune of between five and 12 times the cost in tokens. The companies are trying to wriggle out from that real reality. Beyond this is the infrastructure reality that distinguishes data centers from previous bubbles like rail or dot com.

     I can't imagine "the internet" getting boo'd like that in 2001 Grads would have cheered along for "internet"

     Or even like bitcoin in say 2010, lots of people were skeptical but would not have just boo'd

     This is remarkably unpopular.
