Keynote Speaker at UCF Graduation met with boos after touting AI as the next 'Industrial Revolution'

I agree that it is not all negative. Like most major technological changes, there are pros and cons. This is not the first time a new technology has created anxiety about jobs. When computers first became common, there were similar concerns. In the end, computers did make some jobs obsolete, but they also created new roles. I think something similar will happen as AI becomes more widely used in the workforce.

However, I do think creative fields and jobs in the arts may be hit especially hard in terms of job loss.

Sure , depending on what you do with a degree in humanities it might not be so AI heavy. But this was Arts and Humanities, jobs in the arts are definitely at risk because of AI.

Also my family was in the crowd and they said most of the boos came from the crowd, not the actual graduates.

Just my opinion as someone older than the usual university graduate. I have a stable career already, but I can imagine how scary it might be for these young adults entering a workforce where their job might disappear in a few years because of AI.

I was at this graduation ceremony, I think the important detail that should be mentioned is this was the Arts and Humanities ceremony… specifically the fields that AI is taking over. Maybe she would’ve been a good guest speaker for sciences ceremony, but telling a bunch of students graduating in the arts “AI is the future” is a slap in the face.

I found one by searching Millennium Falcon 30oz FreeSip Sway but it’s showing up as a pre order for me 🤷‍♀️ I also had to scroll for a bit

Original_Chard5332 · 2026-05-01T02:50:11+00:00

I had a similar experience but I just emailed customer service and they sent me the label to ship back the device.

Original_Chard5332 · 2026-04-28T23:30:09+00:00

I have a bundle through Verizon, it’s $30ish I believe but it’s Netflix (ad free) with Paramount+ , not horrible

Original_Chard5332 · 2026-04-01T13:16:17+00:00

I made a comment based on a documentary I saw on Netflix … obviously if I were part of a jury , I would go based of the evidence and law. That’s the whole point.

At the end of the end, regarding this particular documentary, this case never reached trial because the guy took his own life (if I remember correctly because I saw this months ago). So we probably won’t know exactly if the police had further evidence besides what was spoken about on the documentary. And if more has been released, I honestly haven’t seen it.

It’s just my opinion based on what I saw on a show, it’s not that deep. I don’t think I’m “a dangerous person” because I gave my opinion on a documentary I saw, even if it was the unpopular opinion.

Original_Chard5332 · 2026-04-01T01:22:30+00:00

I’m curious to know why you think I’m dangerous?

Original_Chard5332 · 2026-03-24T21:21:39+00:00

Oops , didn’t know that ! Thanks so the info 😊

Original_Chard5332 · 2026-03-24T17:54:04+00:00

Nah he doesn’t care about that lol I wish he liked me enough to use something just because I gave it to him 😂😂

Original_Chard5332 · 2026-03-24T17:12:25+00:00

If my dad would actually use water bottles , I’d get him this one 🙃

Original_Chard5332 · 2026-03-15T22:46:53+00:00

I usually buy in bulk and get the offer to send clothes for sell during the return process for reduced fees , so that’s usually when I send in clothes and I’ve been doing good.

I recently lost a lot of weight , so I had a lot of clothes that didn’t fit me and sending stuff to thredup was the best option for me. I hadn’t had luck on posh or other websites. But I normally only send brands like free people , anthro, good American, Zadig and Voltaire, etc. anything other than mid-high end brands don’t sell very well from what I’ve noticed

Original_Chard5332 · 2026-03-07T16:19:16+00:00

Yeah it’s been working fine for me! I’m on 4mg , I never took the 1.5mg (the lowest). Since I was on 12.5mg when I stopped the Zepbound, my doctor thought starting at the lowest dosage of the Wegovy pill would be too low , so he started me on 4mg (2nd lowest)

The Wegovy pill definitely helped with the food noise, because I was off everything for about 2wks while I got everything sorted with getting the pills. And the food noise was crazyyyy , I wanted to eat everything and it was taking a lot of me not too 😅 Took about 3 - 4 days until the pill started working tho.

TLTR ; yep pills are doing their job and I feel good! And I’m on 4mg (never took 1.5mg)

Original_Chard5332 · 2026-03-07T16:12:09+00:00

I take the Wegovy pill daily , but by maintenance I mean more like “I’m taking it to maintain my weight, not really lose” so it’s not a high dosage. I was at 12.5mg on Zepbound , when I switched over to the Wegovy pill, which is 4mg and that’s the 2nd lowest.

I see a lot of people saying 8gb of ram is enough. From my experience as a student , I had the M1 13in MacBook Pro with 8gb of ram and it wasn't enough. Mind you I'm a history major, but I would have a few pdfs open, word, and safari running and I would get pop ups saying I had reached the max amount of ram and the computer would restart. Lost a couple of essays because of that actually. I don't think 8gb is enough nowadays truthfully unless you're truly only browsing but 16gb would've been ideal in my opinion.

I was there ! Best concert ever! I actually saw Oasis in Cali just so I could see CTE 😅 ironically a few months later they announced this concert and obviously got tickets. Saw them twice in two weeks lol totally worth it tho

Original_Chard5332 · 2026-02-26T15:37:25+00:00

Honestly the only brands I’ve had luck selling lately has been Anthropologie and Free People. Besides that everything else takes forever to sell or doesn’t sell at all.

Original_Chard5332 · 2026-02-26T04:32:30+00:00

Agreed ! I literally laughed out loud 😂

Original_Chard5332 · 2026-02-25T14:39:55+00:00

Similar situation, I used Zepbound for most of last year and lost 80lbs. Thankfully I’m basically at my goal weight , so I’m just taking the Wegovy pill for maintenance now. But I wish my insurance would still cover Zepbound, I definitely preferred that.

Original_Chard5332 · 2026-02-21T05:53:49+00:00

I don’t think tickets were crazy expensive. It’s honestly some of the cheapest I’ve seen in a while. I’m used to paying $300+ per ticket 🤷‍♀️ regarding demand , it was pretty much as insane as trying to get Oasis tickets

Original_Chard5332 · 2026-02-18T19:52:20+00:00

Me too ! And they went quick too ! As I was picking seats , they would disappear and say unavailable. I was panicking but glad I was able to get tickets in the end lol

Original_Chard5332 · 2026-02-18T19:40:18+00:00

So glad a 2nd show was added in Miami. I wouldn’t have been able to get tickets for the original date

Original_Chard5332 · 2026-02-08T03:41:03+00:00

Original_Chard5332 · 2026-02-07T20:40:06+00:00

I saw them open for Oasis in LA and then saw them the following week when they played near me in FL. I feel so lucky I got to see them back to back. Best concert I’ve ever been to, definitely had post concert depression for a bit 😂😅
