Gloria Caulfield, President of the Lake Nona Institute and Vice President of Strategic Alliances at Tavistock President of the Lake Nona Institute and Vice President of Strategic Alliances at Tavistock was a speaker at commencement and was loudly and repeatedly booed for praising AI.

This is one student’s response as reported in a local newspaper:

“To stand in front of a graduating class of artists and communicators and discuss Jeff Bezos and Howard Schultz, is to spit on our efforts to flip the script. I’m embarrassed to have had to endure the most embarrassing, unskippable, tone-deaf, ad-like commencement. Boo to AI and boo to your agenda,” Eletr told Orlando Weekly.

And he is absolutely right. We hear this nonsense constantly — “new industrial revolution” “cutting edge,” “game changing,” “disruptive,” and then of course a truly incredible mountain of praise for the tech bros who stand to make trillions of dollars if only they can render virtually all of humanity obsolete.

All I see is AI slop on the internet and regular failure and disaster in deployment.

How can there be such constant unquestioning, sky-high praise, while at the same time the evidence of the current news and our own eyes shows just the opposite?
