Trump’s Second Term Begins With a #Crash
"given the damage #Trump & shadow president #Musk hv already inflicted on e federal #government in general & #airline #safety system in particular, it wld be quite e coincidence if their actions had nothing to do with it.. Musk—who's a foreign-born billionaire who hasn't been elected or appointed to any post—had been demanding Whitaker be #sacked for months, bec #FAA had been attempting to #regulate his co #SpaceX"

I ended my time on Duolingo in the #NewYear, after finding out they sacked a bunch of translators and are now relying on AI to generate sentences for learning. Essentially, they are just generating the content via AI and having a limited number of translators "check the work" before putting it up into their programs.
I also noticed that, the longer I went on in my Duolingo program, the quality of the learning seemed to decrease dramatically, and after learning about the AI thing, it started to dawn on me that this could be part of the reason for that. But even if it isn't related, the fact that they are making this move toward AI only means in the future, the learning WILL decrease in quality whether we like it or not, and that's no fun at all.
So No Thanks, #Duolingo. So long, and thanks for all the fish.

It's probably a good thing to stop now anyway, after I got this lovely message in my inbox before the New Year:

- She shows no #remorse as within hours of Pesutto’s press conference, Deeming denied condemning Keen-Minshull and Jones in a tweet.
