Duolingo is run by fucking idiots.

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

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.

I ended my sub and deleted my account when they announced they’d be replacing their contract workers with AI.

Lingonaut looks promising. And I’ve been trying out Language Transfer for Spanish. I’ve learned more about how Spanish “works” in an hour of Language Transfer than I did with months of Duolingo. I’m smacking myself for wasting the time - though I do enjoy the gamification.

"Try Super Duolingo now to avoid interruptions." Interruptions which are only there to promote Super Duolingo in the first place.

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.

Can we replace this guy with AI?

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

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