- Man, can you imagine, the meaningless platitudes that are normally said at these ceremonies, but it’s not even a human speaker, but rather an overengineered loudspeaker. - That sucks bro… hey have you considered contributing more to our new AI initiative? We’re heading to the maximum future, today!  
- Meaningless? I’ve listened to some excellent graduation speaches. Chris Hedges comes to mind - Yeah, I think, we’ll have to agree to disagree on that one. I know, I’m on the extreme side with never having liked such a ceremony. I think, it’s because I simply stop feeling represented with the kind of generic speech you get when addressing more than a dozen people, because I guess, I’m just too special of a snowflake…  
- So we should all shut up and stop calling for an end to genocide because its “generic speech”? - No, that’s not a generic speech to me. In that case, you’re motivating a specific political issue and trying to convince anyone who’s still on the fence. Contentious political issues have always been excluded from the ceremony speeches I attended. - Why? That’s kinda their responsibility. Especially now, during a genocide. - Anyone who was speaking at a graduation now and didn’t call for action against the war is failing miserablely - You’re right, what Russia is doing in Ukraine is tantamount to genocide - Ethnic cleansing* 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
- The real question is did the ai go on and on (like my commencement speaker who narrated their life), Or was it a short speech? - Most likely a prerecorded message, whoever rented out that clanker probably did not want to leave anything to chance. - It did have a Q&A section where you could ask the robot questions. 
 
 
- Was the valedictorian a Palestinian that got replaced again? 
- And always remember! Be bold! Be brave! Sorry, but as a large language model I am unable to assess ethical questions of that nature! And always follow your dreams! - Also, sign up for the military, I hear - wethey are offering some great deals!
 
- Kids in highschool during the pandemic are graduating college now 🤯 - Getting old is so weird. 
- A family friend graduated from a liberal arts college, had an R congressperson come for commencement. He just rambled about AI and also medical advancements like the US hasn’t had a falling life expectancy. Probably a pretty similar speech to this robot’s. 
- the moment of the Butlerian Jihad comes one step closer 
- The “Ex Machina” sequel is going way too far to believable, they really need to dial back on the surrealist black comedy.
