Worst part is even after this idiot destroys his own company, he can just claim he was responsible for the highest ever peak stock share price (before he caused the decline).
Puts his children in private school without computers.
I'm so close to letting my streak die because of this dude. Fuck him.
My library (and check yours, too!) has free access to Mango Languages, and what I have tried there has been nice. But they don't guilt trip you into doing lessons so you have to keep on top of it yourself.
I ended my streak and uninstalled a while ago. It went downhill when they got rid of the discussion section for the exercises. Add to that stupid sentences I most likely wouldn't say in the real world .
I loved the conversation section 😭

That's pretty hilarious considering I've been using Duolingo (cracked apks) for years and these last couple of weeks the sentences it's been giving me are insane and weird, stupidly awkward things that no one would ever say IRL.
Airlearn isn't quite there as far as speech recognition but the lessons are a lot more natural and it actually tells you why and explains different parts of the culture around the language and why an idea might be expressed a certain way rather than how we're used to in English. An LLM could never.

Current LLMs aren't better teachers.
They might be in the future. But definitely not now.

AI is better at running companies than humans-but CEOs will still exist 'because they want money'
Well, Duolingo CEO is a cunt.
Duolingo CEO should be replaced by AI.
I'm convinced it takes a special kind of sociopath to be a CEO.
you know, I still say punching people who say stupid stuff, would cut down the stupid stuff people say, by at least half...
We need a "thank you for sharing and fuck that!" Option, not just a like and dislike
What a load of crap. Big tech is not the solution, it’s not even the question, it’s the problem.
ai can teach, and cheaper than humans, but I doubt its better than most of us
