free until they have enough training data
They are not using user data for training. It wouldn't be very useful data anyway, as it's all explicitly from people who are learning and highly structured/not freeform due to the input constraints.

#12I’m curious what teachers unions in the United States will think of this. Presumably any successful outcomes with this will result in a culling, starting with aides and specialists. Add declining enrollment and you have strong incentive.

#13Khan - an English loanword from Middle Mongolian meaning "ruler". Migo - in the works of H.P. Lovecraft, a fundamentally alien race that has mastered neuroscience. Seems a little too much on the noise?

How is this different in effect from teacher resources like Classroom.com? Many websites provide teacher packs; this offering is a hyper-customized, always up-to-date version of the same.
It’s completely different for the reasons you already mentioned. It’s like saying an abacus and a (digital) calculator are the same.

They are not the same. One is far more capable than the other. Can an abacus numerically solve a differential equation in a few seconds?

You are thinking too much. Khan is just a name and a very very common one at that. I don’t see any reason to make this attempt at a blending of amigo into khan the founder, who has a good reputation, into something it’s not. If you say the blending just is not good nor is the idea to begin with, I am with you :)
