Goldman CEO DJs Graduation — Kids Getting Booed for Championing AI

At 39:40 · chapter starts 35:00

Tim pivots to a cultural flashpoint: AI boosters getting booed off commencement stages. He plays clips of an unnamed music industry executive telling graduates AI is 'rewriting production' and to 'deal with it,' followed by former Google CEO Eric Schmidt being jeered at the University of Arizona — and a news report noting Schmidt faces a rape and sexual assault lawsuit currently in arbitration. The target Tim zeroes in on is David Solomon, Goldman Sachs CEO and part-time DJ known as DJ D-Sol, who went to Wharton's 2026 MBA commencement and used AI app Suno to generate a complete house music anthem in 10 seconds from a single prompt. Tim finds this not just tone-deaf but almost satirically perfect as a symbol: a man who DJs at Surf Lodge in the Hamptons, so wealthy he processes AI as a fun dinner conversation topic, standing before graduates who are $200,000 in student debt that cannot be discharged in bankruptcy. He argues these students are correct to boo: they grew up watching technology radicalize their parents, addict their friends to pornography, and weaponize social media against them. They have lived the negative side of the tech revolution, and they are refusing to pretend otherwise on the day they officially enter a workforce that may no longer want them.
