Tim finally plays the David Solomon Wharton clip in full. Solomon, introducing himself as the CEO of Goldman Sachs and framing this as an 'age of self-driving cars and reusable rockets,' gives the AI app Suno a prompt asking for an upbeat house anthem for the MBA class of 2026, extolling why today is the best day in history to be in their shoes. The resulting song — complete with choruses and verses — takes 10 seconds to generate [1] — Tim Dillon "Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon gave a Wharton commencement speech, generated a complete house anthem in 10 seconds using AI app Suno, and …" 51:40 . Solomon presents it with infectious enthusiasm, as someone who processes AI as a fascinating intellectual toy. Tim's reaction is not to mock him for being stupid — he acknowledges that for someone of Solomon's wealth and position, AI as a dinner conversation topic is genuinely fun. The problem is the context: he is saying this to people who are $200,000 in debt and entering a workforce that may automate them out of existence. Tim then pivots to a darker connection: AI is not just making songs at Wharton, it is selecting targets in war zones. Companies like Palantir are widely believed to be providing AI targeting infrastructure for strikes in Iran. Tim tells Solomon to play that song for the children sitting in an Iranian school who were killed by an AI-guided strike. The point is that the same technology being cheerfully demoed at graduations is simultaneously being deployed to make life-and-death decisions at scale, and the failure to hold both realities in mind at once is a form of moral bankruptcy.
Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon gave a Wharton commencement speech, generated a complete house anthem in 10 seconds using AI app Suno, and presented it as inspiration. The graduating class, $200K in debt, was not inspired.
It's widely believed that AI is being used to select military targets in war zones and it's making fatal mistakes. While Goldman's CEO plays an AI song at graduation, AI is choosing who to bomb. Play that song for the kids in that Iranian school.
