Nothing screams 'AI apocalypse' louder than a CEO admitting he forgot to add context. Weāre all just flailing drivers here, folks, and Luis von Ahn just crashed the Duolingo hype-mobile into a wall of confused panic.
Luis von Ahnās genius move: drop a bombshell, then say 'Oops, forgot the context.' That's like yelling 'fire!' in a theater and then apologizing for the smoke machine.
Duolingo going 'AI-first' without context? Thatās like telling your friends youāre marrying a robot, then adding, 'Oh, I meant the ice cream machine.'
