    Man, can you imagine, the meaningless platitudes that are normally said at these ceremonies, but it’s not even a human speaker, but rather an overengineered loudspeaker.

        Yeah, I think, we’ll have to agree to disagree on that one. I know, I’m on the extreme side with never having liked such a ceremony. I think, it’s because I simply stop feeling represented with the kind of generic speech you get when addressing more than a dozen people, because I guess, I’m just too special of a snowflake…

    The real question is did the ai go on and on (like my commencement speaker who narrated their life), Or was it a short speech?

      Most likely a prerecorded message, whoever rented out that clanker probably did not want to leave anything to chance.

    A family friend graduated from a liberal arts college, had an R congressperson come for commencement. He just rambled about AI and also medical advancements like the US hasn’t had a falling life expectancy. Probably a pretty similar speech to this robot’s.

    The “Ex Machina” sequel is going way too far to believable, they really need to dial back on the surrealist black comedy.
