This is a different topic though. Sure its related but the students aren't booing because of chip shortage. The hype will die down. Ai wont go anywhere but the crazy ramp up and "everyone need sot be in AI' will die down.

    First question. Why do you think these students are booing?

    Second question. You mention China. How much unemployment is there in China and, what is the main cause for the rate of unemployment?

    They arr complaining about a future where there wont be jobs. but to be clear all these big layoffs have been cyclicaland they used ai to get investors excited.

    but just like all advances, any job that goes away is replaced by something new.

    the biggest problem we have is the head of open ai is the biggest ai doomer.

    he tells everyone that ai will destroy us all but its coming so better embrace it.

    i am not a doomer and i am not an ai worshipper. i tjink there will be disruption but it wont be the end.

    unlike the industrial revolution, there hasnt been bombings yet.
