Pichai has acheived next to nothing in 11 years at google that wasnt set up by previous leadershi-- all while keeping one of the largest and finest development teams in the world. No big product launches since 2015 when he too over. His “bard” AI effort crashed and burned. He can feel free to shut up and sit down. This pencil-dicked loser needs to do more listening than talking.
I have not large doubts that he and even some people in his position elsewhere can be replaced by AI. We could save a hell lot of money and be even more productive!
Google long ago became another IBM: bureaucratic, rent-seeking and no longer innovative.
IBM has (at least had) quite a lot of clever techies too, but as an organization it’s brain-dead.
I see no reason to listen to what that guy has to say on this topic. He’s only out for money and you can’t believe a word he says and he’s not an expert on it.
I look at everyone this way who is pushing AI shit. Suspicious as fuck.
Maybe he could use some of his millions to fix those nasty ass fucking teeth
Blow his brains out
This sounds like a threat…
It definitely is a threat. Considering they are already planning on replacing entry level positions with AI they are directly attacking this new generation’s livelihood.
So the fact that they get a little pushback for trying to end the cycle of employment is kind of a joke. This new generation should literally be at their throats if they knew what was good for them.
These graduates are actually both going to be a big part of driving that progress and also dealing with the impact," he added, referring to AI.
Yes. And a direct one at that.
this is the guy who is so bad at his job he tanked google and failed up
When he came in, Google was already out of new ideas.
the only consequence of a world without ai is a smooth running industrial powerhouse that increases the value of its people and marketshares. continued use of ai reduces marketshare as well as production output while also shrinking the customer base
Yeah, it’ll be like the impact on the ocean of someone taking their toe out of the water.
The next big thing won’t come from Google. It’s just doing portfolio management, sustaining and milking me-too products like their web apps and Google Cloud while enshittifying them, and hoping they’ll get lucky with one of their many incubator projects. Odds are, they won’t. They lack the agility and aren’t hungry anymore.
It’d be nice if some of them shaped Pichai’s future.

“Now it’s your time to realize your dreams,” he told graduates. “The timing could not be more perfect.”
My dream is a world without ultracapitalist CEOs.
My dream is that when I search something on the web I get results 100% arranged on relevance with no commercially motivated rearranging of results. I also dream about ad free OSs, but that one came true for me back in 2005 (thanks Linux!).
Well, Linux isn’t totally ad free. Once you use it, you become the ad.
Ngl this is such an underrated comment haha. 😂
That is a lot closer to the truth than I’m comfortable with 🙃
I thought linux came out around 1992?
that came true FOR ME
Not everyone adopted Linux the moment it was released
Lost_My_Mind is calling Linux gay
It’s one of the steps of Fully Automated Luxury Gay Space Communism, so that checks out.
Man, I can’t wait for gay space communism, gotta be more fun than this shit we got going on.
Yeah, but I was still pissing in a hole next to the sandbox back then. :-D I got started in late high school/ early college years, went back to Windows for a year or so, then fully committed to Linux going forward.
My dream is a multiplayer marrio brothers on end to end en, something.
Don’t let your dreams stay memes
Now it’s your time to realize that dream, the timing could not be more perfect.
My dream is chilling by the pool/lake/river doing fuck all with some friends and something nice to drink (alcohol or not).
I can already realize my dream whenever the fuck I want, and AI helps 0% achieving any part of it.
Sounds like a threat.
“These graduates are actually both going to be a big part of driving that progress and also dealing with the impact,” he added, referring to AI.
Out of context it sounds like a threat, but in connect it just sounds like vacuous CEO-speak, designed to respond to the question with some words while not actually answering the question.
Vacuous CEO speech is almost always a threat.
People are out here still rooting for the circus ring master when we have known for decades now that they’re beating and enslaving the elephants, tigers, and crew alike, while splitting what the pick pockets get from the crowd while everyone enjoys the show.
Great name for a band though.
I think he meant the people booing are the ones making the threat to Pichai.
In that case, carry on.
designed to respond to the question with some words while not actually answering the question.
Ok, I see why they are so enamored of LLM chat…
Now it’s your time to realize your dreams
Okay, get in!
“Humans aren’t evolved to process that much change,” he said, adding that the scale of the change is unlike anything the world has seen.
LOL, your massive plagiarism boxes are not that impressive, you pompous shit.
These guys pretend they reinvented the Internet after they ruined it.
They can’t even fucking troubleshoot basic electronics. The less popular the product, the more likely they are to give you instructions that might kill you. Literally kill you, by the way.
I love the hubris.
Humans aren’t evolved to process that much change, says a man who grew up in the 20th century. At the start war was just a scrap in a field, the most advanced piece of technology was an x-ray machine, and a major airport was a relatively flat piece of grass made for gliders made out of wood and canvas, by the end we’d had two world wars and one cold war, computers were everywhere, we had MRI machines and satellites and even a space station in orbit, and there are millions of flights a day on jet liners.
Yeah, no other human has ever lived through so much change.
Well put haha, there is like no self-reflection at all, it’s like these guys are on full speed ahead forward at all times without a thought. I suppose that’s what they teach in business school or whatever, or whatever mind fuck conferences those guys all go to, remember TED talks when all these assholes had so many big cool ideas? LOL, what a bunch of fucking smoke blowing out their asses, all just talk and talk and nothing good. I’m sure that’s not the entire case but it sure as hell seems like it. These guys really had us fooled thinking they were smart.
“…and live with its consequences.”
That’s why they’re booing, you moron.
What a creepy thing to say. The guy pulling the strings on Ai talking about consequences lol
Someone should Luigi this guy
Luigi is an automatic upvote. Innocent though he may be. Which he is, innocent. I’m serious, the cops are full of shit, on everything, a manifesto? Gtofo of here, we all wrote that shit after, because health insurance is the devil.
Do you side with Jesus or the Devil?
I side with plumbers
Sounds like the devil to me.
I side who has the best artillery
Although satisfying it wouldn’t really solve anything. They would just elect another CEO. They’re all exactly the same anyway.
You want to really make a change you burn down the data centres, that would really hit them where it hurts.
I mean, they’d run out of people willing to do the things that inspire French revolutionary style ideas eventually. But no, it’s probably not a feasible solution.
Too reactive to really work. Efforts to prevent fuck shits like this from getting into positions of disproportionate privilege and power in the first place are needed. Good luck with that in a capitalist system though.
It’s probably time for all of these billionaires to start being scared of consequences.
What do you think they’re scared of? People booing them?
Unironically, a bit. These people are pure ego, and being booed is actually a thing they take great offense at
I’d settle for all their chefs, security, nannies, janitors etc., to tell them “thought you said AI was going to replace humans?”
They only care about money.
AI will replace them
Rebellion
Lol. Yeah I’m sure they’re all adopting this technology because a shit load of people AREN’T using it. That makes sense.
They’re not afraid of “rebellion”, they’re afraid of higher taxes. That’s why they try to convince people to either vote for Republicans or pretend both parties are the same.
Both parties are the same when it comes to committing genocide in Palestine, so with that said, I don’t really care what their domestic policies are. “Do you want to vote for the slightly kinder Hitler or the meaner Hitler? Look at you, now it’s your fault that meaner-Hitler got elected!”
After Luigi, its not the same anymore
If they can’t even impeach trump I’m not getting my hopes up.
They impeached him twice.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_impeachment_of_Donald_Trump#House_vote
The consequences : …
Nothing…
He was Charged with felony first-degree falsifying business records (34 counts)
Verdict: Guilty on all counts
The consequences : …
Nothing.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prosecution_of_Donald_Trump_in_New_York
This begs the questions, “why wasn’t he ever sentenced?” and once he is no longer president can he be sentenced to do hard time for any of those 34 counts?
He wasn’t president when he was sentenced
Well, not technically. He had his sentence “discharged” the week of Jan 6 2025, which was technically while he was not president, but well after he had stolen his second term and it was certain he would be the president in about 2 weeks. So, he can’t be sentenced for those 34 felonies anymore, but I wonder if he would have been sentenced to time if he hadn’t stolen a second term.
Probably not, since the judge who unconditionally discharged any sentence was at the very least a Trump apologist who bent over backwards to give Trump the white glove treatment. At the very least Judge Merchan could have assessed fines equal to the value Trump stole with his crimes, or even put Trump on probation. Nope, just let him off free and clear.
I just hope some enterprising state AGs find more things to charge him with and he spends the last couple of years of his life rotting in prison.
Democrat politicians are not the proletariat lol (except at the local / county-level, potentially)
Thats not really the topic
