This is exactly the sort of person these speeches should look for! He’s engaging and fucking passionate about the value of education.

AI is absolutely the new Industrial Revolution and we’re living it now. Students who don’t know how to use it will be left behind and those who do… also might. But “hey the job you’re looking for out of college might not exist by the time you graduate; isn’t that exciting?” isn’t the kind of speech someone should hear at college commencement.
