  • “Duolingo will remain a company that cares deeply about its employees”

    Except for the contract employees. Fuck those people.

    In 2012, we bet on mobile. […] That decision helped us win the 2013 iPhone App of the Year and unlocked the organic word-of-mouth growth that followed. Betting on mobile made all the difference. We’re making a similar call now, and this time the platform shift is AI.

    I think this is some sort of fallacy, not sure which tho. Maybe a hasty generalization? “We bet on mobile twelve years ago and won, so if we bet on AI now we’ll also win.”

    *It also seems they’re using AI to code… those poor programmers will have to double check every single line it shits out because you know, it’s a fucking AI. Yet another company succumbs to a CEOs emotional FOMO.
