Commencement address season hasn’t been going well — for the commencement speakers.
I’m sure you’ve seen the videos on social media. The big shots who have been brought in to inspire a next generation of graduates have used their speeches as opportunities to extol the limitless possibilities that artificial intelligence will bring. They’re speaking to graduates who are entering a shaky job market and are already burdened by tens of thousands of dollars of student debt. However, companies of all stripes are using A.I. as an excuse to slow entry-level hiring and lay off workers. Tech executives have been warning (though it sometimes seems as if they are bragging) that their technologies will be job destroyers.
@FoulTerritoryTV@JesseRogersESPN That’s because a 50/50 revenue split and a higher floor w/ a salary cap that would affect a minority of players is fair.

@SandyMac718 The carpet bagging billionaires, the DeWallets, made those deals to save $. $ means everything to them, not winning. Used to be GREAT owners. What happened? & will an alleged journo ask them that point blank? Or do they fear losing access? Journos should stand up to $$$ & power.
@schatow@YouTube@markgeragos And he has vast experience. His daughter is such a good cross examiner, that 1 of the alleged victims in the latest Weinstein trial, after being taken apart by Tenny, actually shook her hand after she testified. Tenny learned from The Master.
@StoliarSteve@ClassicMovieHub Lemmon was a dream of an actor. Comedy/drama & every role in between. But he would’ve traded an Oscar for making the cut once at the Crosby Clam Bake at Peeble Beach.
Quentin Tarantino wrote an op-ed in Sight and Sound I actually agree with:
“Flaws, implausibilities, audience pandering, miscast performers or just plain stupid s— usually torpedoes every new movie coming out of the flavorless sausage factory that used to call itself Hollywood.”
