organic chemistry - Thermodynamic versus kinetic reactions


In a lecture, teacher said



"Nucleophilicity is about 'kinetic', and basicity is about 'thermodynamic'"


but I saw the picture below from another source.


enter image description here


Here, both pathways start with an acid/base reaction (it's about basicity) and then nucleophilic addition happens (it's about nucleophilicity). as a result, 'kinetic' and 'thermodynamic' product come up.


So here's my question.


Are the terms 'thermodynamic' and 'kinetic' that are used above in two cases different?
