• 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.

        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.
