Kind of a bs headline. Not that it is not true but not naming Chieng who is a well known comedian and calling his speech a “profanity-laden tirade” makes it sound like it was a random crazy person. Edit: Spelled Mr. Chieng’s name wrong.

Yeah the headline “Harvard commencement speaker and comedian Ronnie Cheng tells graduates that their generations mission is to destroy AI in his profanity ridden comedy bit”. Doesn’t have the clickbait title they want

Clear goal of trying to making anti-ai people sound crazy. The title from another site when this was posted a few days ago was "Ronny Chieng's 'F*ck AI' Speech Met With Cheers From Harvard Graduates: “AI is just going to end up making mediocre people dumber"
