- Following backlash to statements that Duolingo will be AI-first, threatening jobs in the process, CEO Luis von Ahn has tried to walk back his statement.
- Unfortunately, the CEO doesn’t walk back any of the key points he originally outlined, choosing instead to try, and fail to placate the maddening crowd.
- Unfortunately the PR team may soon be replaced by AI as this latest statement has done anything but instil confidence in the firm’s users.
If you’re gonna be a shitty company and do shitty things, just STFU. I don’t know why they think they can talk their way out of it, it’s like they believe their own BS.
Because it worked since Steve Apple did the iphone. techie bootlickers larped it all up, furiously defending “their CEO” from any criticism online. It has hard to do it now with out being called for being a pathetic bootlicker, so most don’t even try any more.
The parasites are now learning that the sentiment has turned, it will take sometime until their “PR” consultants catch on and come with some new “act”
Point of order; Steve Apple actually did awesome shit. Macintosh, iphone, NExT, Pixar, saved an enshittening company, etc.
sure… good for him but why does every fucking parasite now think they can fill his shoes?
and how were they able to this cosplay for this long with out being called for it?
Well, those are different questions . . .
Those rich idiots figure you just have to act a certain way, and they conveniently forget that you also need the talent to justify the act instead of just being born with a silver spoon. It´s also that silver spoon shields them from many of the consequences and being called out.
Amen!
