Cost of goods and services drops by orders of magnitude at every point in the supply chain.

That being said we already have relative superabundance and we're more miserable than ever, so it's not clear that more of it will cheer us up.

> show them a future that doesn't leave them in abject poverty

To be fair, this isn’t the commencement speaker’s job.

That's quite an unsubstantiated leap. The world has gone through plenty of digital transformations and the number of people in poverty has only _shrank_.

The funny thing is that it's not even true. People invested in AI just glee at the thought of common men in abject poverty, so this is the marketing that stuck.

Shows you don't need to have red skin and horns to delight in the suffering of starving people.

the same people who have been using the AI to write their papers, etc.. while supposedly "not liking it". Classic hypocrisy. You can't have it both ways.

College graduates being that myopic and failing at such basic logic. One can only wonder about the quality of education they've got and how it would help them in the modern technological world. Though being that hypocritical may be they would exactly do very well.
