alt Hacker NewsI think it's more than that. They've heard for most of their lives that college is the way to a good job. Now they're graduating, many of them with debt, and as they do, they're hearing that AI means that the jobs won't be there. And now, at their commencement, someone is talking about AI. One of the people responsible is talking about AI!
Who thought that this was going to go well?

this isn't the first instance of society failing to deliver on its promises - I'm almost 40 and still no house. What makes this time different, I think is the question?

That's all fair. Whether or not AI is the/a primary factor in the challenge in getting entry-level/junior roles especially in tech and especially in relation to the milk and honey situation the past decade+, I'm sure a lot of grads struggling to get interviews believe it is. Which makes a commencement speaker associated with Google and AI a rather tone-deaf choice.
