What?

Booing Eric Schmidt, for a point in a graduation speech about AI? That shouldn’t be happening. Those tend to be positive, happy press articles.

Nor is it the only data point, theres been multiple articles shared on HN alone about consumer sentiment and AI.

The light was green and is now blinking yellow. I wouldn’t be surprised when it turns red.

You speak as if crowds don't boo at graduation speeches or college speakers.

Eric Schmidt even had a canned response ready because this event was 100% predictable and he prepared for it.

Look, there's like, actual protesters going on right now. No Kings, or the Target boycott (etc. etc). Real political action that seems to have teeth.

Excuse me for pointing out that kids booing at one line (that the speaker was already prepared for) is kid gloves. It's a drop in the bucket and within today's expectations. The actual protesters and actual political action is elsewhere.
