"Students boo the commencement speaker who called #Ai 'the next industrial revolution'"
She is 100% right.
What the #hoipolloi don't get is that #Ai *IS* the next industrial revolution.
Just like in the past, the working class got destroyed by the #capitalists destroying their labour with machines...
... So now capitalists are destroying "the elites", the intellectuals with Ai
So much for class #solidarity
But on the other hand the last industrial revolution brought us #socialism and #communism, so there is hope.

"David Einhorn wants ladies in ‘sexy party clothes’ at his hedge fund party
Billionaire David Einhorn is throwing a party in New York this weekend to celebrate Greenlight Capital’s 30th anniversary.
If you squint, the invitation looks banal. Predictable theme ('Vegas Nightclub'), less predictable location ('Brooklyn'). But then comes the fine print. The dress code, just for 'the ladies', is more exacting: 'sexy party clothes'.
Yes, that’s right, Einhorn is openly telling women they better look hot or else to celebrate his hedge fund. You might think this is the invite for some frat party, instead of a multibillion-dollar money manager. You’d be wrong.
Meanwhile men get a free pass.
(. . .)
We had a hunch the #MeToo era that smacked Wall Street in the face nearly a decade ago had already been subsumed by cobwebs, forgotten to the winds of pre-Maga times. Maybe you remember this lovely quote that went viral from main FT last year, not long after Trump took office:
"Even the way people on Wall Street talk and interact is changing. Bankers and financiers say Trump’s victory has emboldened those who chafed at 'woke doctrine' and felt they had to self-censor or change their language to avoid offending younger colleagues, women, minorities or disabled people.
'I feel liberated, said a top banker. 'We can say ‘retard’ and ‘pussy’ without the fear of getting cancelled . . . it’s a new dawn.'”

Sadly, there are many #capitalists who would LOVE to provide housing but are prevented from doing so. If you look at things like rent control in NYC, the government has literally stepped in and made it more expensive to provide housing than to leave it vacant. I've lived in places where contractors said the cost of permitting was more than the cost of materials for some construction projects.
Want more housing? The free market wants to provide it.
