Haha, seems like someone's getting a little worked up. I do research for the guy. Obviously I support what he does. After all, aren't you supposed to learn from the best professors at your university? However, Von Ahn doesn't get to pick any class to teach. He received 251 while still a Grad Student and was rather "forced" to teach it. He created Science of the Web so I think he deserves to teach it if he wants to correct? And he absolutely hates AI and didn't, by any means, choose to teach it. What's interesting is that even you admit he's a great teacher, but he himself admits he hates teaching. Guess that means he must have some talent. (as for TAs in Systems being dicks, I completely agree with you. 251 TAs too.)
