       Duolingo CEO on going AI-first: ‘I did not expect the blowback’https://archive.is/IrY3zWhat did you expect? Will people who pay taxes sit and watch as jobs are taken away? Are you making your app free? No, you doubled down and increased app prices. I will not pay when you fire tech support and software engineers and replace them with AI.

       @nixCraft shows how much the upper class is totally out of touch with normal people

       @bazkie also makes me think that they don't actually use their own AI tainted products. My every experience with AI going all the way back 25 years to a time when I was a project manager on an AI related project is that it's magical until you actually try to do something serious with it and then it's nothing but frustration.@nixCraft

       @sysop408@sfba.social @bazkie@beige.party @nixCraft@mastodon.socialI don't think that they ever believed that it would replace people or boost their productivity — it's too obvious how bad it is: still requires supervision and by design it always will, oftentimes transforming its output into polished something requires equal amount of effort.And I'm not the one who likes to theorise about the disasters of capitalism and things like that, but here we have an exception — I think for them it's solely a device to convince people they should be paid less 😅
