We reported on the booing of a speaker at the University of Central Florida last week, after they declared AI to be "the next industrial revolution" in front of the assembled students. However, that's nothing compared to the absolute barracking ex-Google CEO Eric Schmidt received when speaking at the University of Arizona's 2026 commencement ceremony last Friday.
Addressing thousands of students at the Casino Del Sol Stadium, Schmidt began his speech by discussing the impact of modern technology on the world. "In a sense, we thought that we were adding stones to a cathedral of knowledge, that humanity had been constructing for centuries," Schmidt opined, as the crowd began to rumble underneath him.
