“Can I just say fuck AI, fuck AI, fuck AI?” the comedian, actor, and rotating host of The Daily Show asked in his keynote speech during the Class Day celebration on Wednesday. The crowd at Tercentenary Theatre, made up of the graduating Class of 2026 and their friends and families, answered him with a roar of approval.
Onward with the Butlerian Jihad!
See graduation speakers, it’s not that hard now, is it?
At this point, grads and undergrads only hope is to work their asses off developing anti-AI tech that blocks scraping, poisons data sets, and exploits unsophisticated bots to turn on their masters. 😈
Or we could take the direct approach and start burning down datacenters. That’s probably easier. And cheaper.
I wouldn’t be unhappy if he took over the daily show, but I would prefer Desi.
Josh, tho. Dude kills it every single time and is so damn likable.
The current rotation is killer. We won’t appreciate this golden age until it sucks again (sorry Trevor).
I think Josh Johnson is the best choice, to be honest - my only issue with him is that he might be too young.
Regardless, I think the best choice would have been Roy Wood Jr. but that ship has long since sailed.
Desi’s great! The multiple host approach seems to be working out pretty well, so maybe they’ll just keep it that way.
I like him. I listened to him on Marc Maron, which is always neat because you get to know a bit more of the real person instead of the character he plays. Obviously, those people aren’t totally divorced. But his real self is a lot more cerebral than the stage version.
I wonder how many of those Haaaavard kids will go to support the next genocide or nam?
Notable Haaaavard grads:
- Ted Cruz
- Ted Kaczynski
- Henry Kissinger
- Jeffery Skilling
- John Silas Reed
- Mark Zuckerberg
- Martin Shkreli
- Ron DeSantis
- Tom Cotton
- Steve Bannon
This is a short list generated by a search.
I don’t give two fucks about the opinions of havaaasrd grads unless it’s tied to an actual academic with a cause.
You’re conflating Harvard Graduate (Law & Business School) programs alum with undergrads.
