Is anyone shocked that the founder of Trilogy Software, Joe Liemandt, would take the lessons learned in creating a "bossware" enterprise software stack (Crossover) and apply them to his latest venture?

I think there is enormous opportunity in combining Ed Tech and Generative AI, especially if you can create a highly tailored tutor available 24/7 for every student, especially for those in low-income situations that have historically been locked out from gaining such guidance. It's just unfortunate that this so rapidly morphed to spying on students for data harvesting.

The follow on effects if this becomes pervasive could be so incredibly damaging for students. Anxiety from performance metrics are already a very real thing because of standardized testing and scoring to get into the best schools. Also, imagine all of this data "follows" a student as they transition into the work force. We're headed towards a future where entry-level employees will have to disclose their "course work engagement" KPIs on their resume.
