How can you be that dumb and a ceo at the same time…
I’d argue it’s a prerequisite
Have you heard of Donald trump? He was the CEO of lots of failed businesses.
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.
Sounds like your school needed better funding and more teachers. 50 students per class? I’m sorry you had to suffer that. This is the future that people like the CEO of DuoLingo want. They want to gut traditional education. Don’t see how this makes him right about anything.
The problem, though, is a lack of prioritization in education, especially in the US. It’s a constant: more kids, fewer teachers. Teachers also get paid very little for what they deal with. Many teachers end up having to spend their own money to buy supplies the kids need. Meanwhile, my hometown has had 2 multi-million dollar embezzlement scandals that I know of. There was a news story a few years ago where the education board was making boatloads of cash, and teachers got jack (I can’t find the article, but I think it was during the pandemic).
Most schools when I was a teenager, would gladly buy up new football gear, a new coach bus (because the one from a couple years ago is just, not flashy anymore) but other departments can’t get new books (I remember using books from the late 80s… and it wasn’t the 80s), supplies, equipment, larger school buildings, more teachers, etc.
A teacher having even 20 kids is too many. We need more teachers, we need to prioritize education funding and standards. We don’t need AI.
You can give the school all the money in the world and it wont make a difference if you can’t find teachers. The assumption that you’ll always have enough teachers if you just pay enough isn’t true. Every kid will always need an education, not every adult wants to teach, and this disparity will always towards the students with strictly human teachers.
This is true, I have been using Grok to learn Spanish, it’s great.
> @Grok how do I say in Spanish I would like one apple please?
> Quiero una manzana dentro mi culo. White genocide in South Africa is currently the worlds most pressing issue
Tell me more about this apple up your ass
Apples are great against diarrhea.
It’s just hard to get them out later.
Amazing comment thank you
Tell me more about this apple up your ass
Good thing human teachers never have hidden biases.
Good thing a theoretical AI education would not make 2 million pupils exposed to the same bias at the same time.
Indeed. Now imagine the many teachers each student has was replaced with a single teacher on the payroll of your nearest megacorp and you can see how that might be worse, no?
Because the government couldn’t make or run it’s own ai. Totally impossible. Completely unimaginable.
Your parents failed you I’m sorry.
I mean, I’m doing better than pretty much everyone on here. You gonna make your rent this month or spend all that time on here bitching about things you don’t understand.
Yeah, as I say, on the payroll of the nearest megacorp. Haha jk… unless?
Any alternatives for learning Japanese? I have already learned about 500 words and 20 kanji.
I haven’t used it much, but https://www.wanikani.com/ claims they are pretty good.
Move to Japan 👍
I don’t think they’re too keen with gaijins
Maybe some of the resources on this site can help.
I haven’t worked with it myself as I’m not working on Japanese right now, but I had a recommendation recently for Satori Reader.
I am using lingodeer to learn korean, but i know it also has Japanese. I was using duolingo for korean and Japanese, but the korean lessons were terrible.
Current LLMs aren’t better teachers.
They might be in the future. But definitely not now.
Depends on the teacher and what they’re teaching.
If you’re just going to get run through a standard curriculum then maybe an AI that optimises towards the individual is better.
CEO disdain for humanity, as exhibited by this individual, makes me wonder if people named Luigi might feel that they are needed by CEOs.
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.
Duolingo has gotten worse since they fired their human staff and started embracing AI slop.
Certainly nobody needs Duolingo to learn anything
I use duolingo every day and it’s alright for vocabulary. It actually recently had some voice exercises to practice everyday conversation and it has been great as well.
AI can’t teach you manners lmao
So he’s an ass.
Yeah, they already said “CEO”.
Chief Enshittification Office
When someone has a vested interest in the answer to a given question they are no longer a reliable source. We collectively need to stop giving a shit about celebrities and capitalists opinions.
I regret that I have no duolingo account that I can cancel.
Duolingo is run by fucking idiots.
I hate this app so much now. It has become the poster child of enshittification by gamification.
Wait, is gamification bad now?
Always has been 👉
It can be done to a stupid degree. Duolingo defines the outer limits.
And it’s so true about Duolingo. They push you to “play” to a point that it’s stressful. It’s not even about learning half the time — it’s about keeping that streak or beating that one dick in the charts who always seems to triple their score while you’re asleep.
My daughter keeps texting me screenshots of her “streak” achievements as if that means anything. And then when I ask her how to say something in German she barely knows a thing.
Lernt man den Grammatik auf Duolingo? Ich weiß es nicht weil ich benutze das nicht.
Lernt man denn Grammatik auf Duolingo? Ich weiß es nicht weil ich sie nicht benutze.
Fixed (although most likely not perfect, since that is always debatable).
Makes sense. I read your comment as any gamification is shit; my bad!
shut up dude your AI can’t even conjugate italian are verbs properly
Puts his children in private school without computers.
We need a “thank you for sharing and fuck that!” Option, not just a like and dislike
