AI Booed at Graduations, Musk Loses OpenAI Trial, Karpathy to Anthropic

About this episode

EPISODE DESCRIPTIONThree commencement speakers got booed this month for mentioning AI, and the reactions say something real. Eric Schmidt got drowned out at Arizona. Gloria Caulfield couldn't finish a sentence at UCF. Scott Borchetta told Middle Tennessee State students to "deal with it" and got the response you'd expect from arts and media graduates who just watched their career field get disrupted. Jason argues the fear is partly media-manufactured rage bait, but it lands on real anxiety about jobs and what happens when none of this trickles down.

The week's news moved fast. A federal jury took less than two hours to throw out Musk's entire lawsuit against OpenAI, ruling every claim was filed outside the three-year statute of limitations. The key: texts and emails from Altman and Brockman in 2018 notifying Musk that a for-profit shift was coming. Demis Hassabis closed Google IO by telling the world we're at the foothills of the singularity, which made Sundar Pichai's job very complicated. SpaceX filed its S-1 on May 20 targeting a potential $2 trillion valuation. And Andrej Karpathy, who coined "vibe coding," announced he's joining Anthropic's pre-training team.

Julie also shares how she used Gemini to research her mother's delirium and sepsis in real time, arriving at appointments with sourced material from the Cleveland Clinic, Mayo Clinic, and NIH. The medical system missed her mom's kidney stones for seven months. Having that research ready changed the dynamic with medical staff entirely. That's the use case that makes all of this worth talking about.
