He’s right. I went to highschool with 50 kids per class, where teachers played on their phones, or hid in their office, or just switched jobs requiring year round substitutes. I took remedial math because that was what had room, and when my teacher realized that he looked like he died inside a little bit.
He’s right… in that AI is better than some teachers. AI is a step up for some kids.
Puts his children in private school without computers.
the green duolingo owl has the change to do the funniest thing
Amazing how this guy has no idea that schools are just as much about socializing and learning to deal with other people and situations you’ll be in for the rest of your life. That’s not “child care,” it’s a structured environment where the main goal is learning and the real benefits are everything else on the fringes.
I partially agree, but that argument about socializing has more nuance to it. At least in my experience, such socializing did not happen in schools, but instead in coffee shops (again, my experience may be different from everyone else’s), where I had meaningful debates with adults. Instead, I actively avoided conversations with my peers, particularly because I had nothing in common with them.
Yeah, it’s different for everyone.
My “counterfactual” is knowing a lot of kids that were home schooled. They were just young weird adults that didn’t thrive in most circumstances. They’re a reason why even rural agrarian societies found value is putting kids together.
Well, Duolingo CEO is a cunt.
I’m convinced it takes a special kind of sociopath to be a CEO.
We need a “thank you for sharing and fuck that!” Option, not just a like and dislike
How can you be that dumb and a ceo at the same time…
AI is better at running companies than humans-but CEOs will still exist ‘because they want money’
Children will just jailbreak the AI. I managed to jailbreak far-right chatbots (until certain platforms started to block common phrases for this purpose), children will be able to do it too.
Also AI is so caca at most jobs the best it could do is help corporations to either produce more low-quality services (which at one point, won’t be sustainable) and help in bluffing their way to lower wages and lesser worker protections. At this point, it’s barely more than a toy and a spam machine, and most of its supposed cost cuttings rely on both speculations of its future and investment funds to make it look like it’s a “free” technology.
What a load of crap. Big tech is not the solution, it’s not even the question, it’s the problem.
Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives
AI can’t teach you manners lmao
Can we replace this guy with AI?
As someone who has actually been in a classroom and dealt with 20 kids—fuck off CEO with no real experience dealing with people.
Personalities, learning types, inequity, and so much more contribute to how people learn. A computer program cannot account for this. Also, what are you going to do when a kid doesn’t want to learn from a computer? Strap them down, force their hands on a keyboard, and shock them if they move or visit a program/site that isn’t what you want in that moment of teaching?
Good. Fucking. Luck.
P.S., Duolingo doesn’t do a good job of making you fluent in a language. It might give you basics of understanding, but you aren’t going to be chatting like any sort of native unless things have changed in the last 4 years or so since I tried it. Your platform is piss poor, and the juice leaking from skunk’s rotten anus has more relevance than you.
CEO disdain for humanity, as exhibited by this individual, makes me wonder if people named Luigi might feel that they are needed by CEOs.
