Technology

Yep

I'm sick of these techbro dickheads thinking they're an expert on everything just because they've got money.

1. Company replaces humans with AI.

2. Consumers notice a drop in quality and stop using the product

3. CEO makes controversial public statements about AI and his product to get into the news.

Okay buddy, that's one way of telling people that your doubling down on your mistake.

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.

So many rich psychopaths in capitalist societies.

Puts his children in private school without computers.

shut up dude your AI can't even conjugate italian are verbs properly

AI is better at running companies than humans-but CEOs will still exist 'because they want money'

Can we replace this guy with AI?

I'm sure this won't be a popular comment, but I can see how having a motivated learner in a 1:1 lesson with an AI might be better for that person than sitting in a class with 35 other people, most of whom don't want to be there, running through a syllabus that the teacher may not even like, at the pace of the slowest kid in class.

What a load of crap. Big tech is not the solution, it’s not even the question, it’s the problem.

In other news: AI is a better human than Duolingo CEO

I absolutely cannot wait for kids to learn about “vegetative electron microscopy”

AI absolutely cannot replace teachers.

Augment possibly but replace? No.

By augment I mean provide some help at the direction of the teacher.

is there an alternative to duolingo that lets me learn multiple languages for a decent price? Rosetta stone was great and all, but i ain't got 100 bucks to shell out for each language i want to half-assedly learn.

Well, Duolingo CEO is a cunt.

So he's an ass.

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.

Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives

We need a "thank you for sharing and fuck that!" Option, not just a like and dislike

And that just underlines my decision to quit Duolingo when it got contaminated with AI stop.

I can tell you from experience that AI was worse at teaching me a language than humans were.

I learn better with humans...this is billionaire excrement
