I Can’t Stop Playing Duolingo Chess

wired.com Jaclyn Greenberg 2025-10-31 09:30:00

I’m embarrassed to admit this in my mid-forties, but I’ve never understood chess well enough to play a full game. My son and daughter both learned how to play in elementary school. I was glad they had that experience. I tried to pick up the game when they did, but, as a busy mom of three little kids, I just didn’t have the time, the interest, or the stamina to really sit down and learn. Chess became more popular during the pandemic, and the boom has stuck around; according to a recent Yougov.c

Duolingo CEO says controversial AI memo was misunderstood

techcrunch.com Anthony Ha 2025-11-13 21:34:17

In Brief While Duolingo CEO Luis von Ahn was loudly criticized this year after declaring that Duolingo would become an “AI-first company,” he suggested in a new interview the real issue was that he “did not give enough context.” “Internally, this was not controversial,” von Ahn told The New York Times. “Externally, as a publicly traded company some people assume that it’s just for profit. Or that we’re trying to lay off humans. And that was not the intent at all.” On the contrary, von Ahn sai

The backlash against Duolingo going ‘AI-first’ didn’t even matter

techcrunch.com Amanda Silberling 2025-12-01 14:32:05

Duolingo announced on Wednesday that it beat its quarterly revenue estimates, even though the company faced widespread backlash for choosing to embrace generative AI over human workers. Duolingo stock rose almost 30% on the news. In April, CEO Luis von Ahn shared that Duolingo would become an “AI-first” company, phasing out its use of contract workers. He also discouraged teams from hiring more employees, unless if the team is unable to automate more of its work. With the use of generative AI,

1945 TV Console Showed Two Programs at Once

As I try to write this article, my friend and I have six different screens attached to three types of devices. We’re working in the same room but on our own projects—separate yet together, a comfortable companionship. I had never really thought of the proliferation of screens as a peacekeeping tool until I stumbled across one of Allen B. DuMont’s 1950s dual-screen television sets. DuMont’s idea was to let two people in the same room watch different programs. It reminded me of my early childhood

In a first for the duo in their time as film composers, Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross are going by “Nine Inch Nails” for their work on the threequel, and that means they’re leaning fully into their rock band history. Speaking to Empire Magazine, Reznor said the Ares soundtrack features “not one second of orchestra.” In fact, he went so far as to call the music not just different from the first two films (respectivel

Before Duolingo wiped its videos from TikTok and Instagram in mid-May, social media engagement was one of the language-learning app’s most recognizable qualities. Its green owl mascot had gone viral multiple times and was well known to younger users—a success story other marketers envied. But, when news got out that Duolingo was making the switch to become an “AI-first” company, planning to replace contractors who work on tasks generative AI could automate, public perception of the brand soured

Hot Octopuss Pulse Duo Review: Not for Penetration

I've heard a decent amount about sex toy brand Hot Octopuss from my male friends, but it wasn’t until the Pulse Duo arrived on my doorstep that I had my first experience with its products. I was excited to give it a try because I love penis toys that both partners can enjoy. The Pulse Duo isn’t a cock ring—at least not in the traditional sense—it does help produce longer and stronger erections. More of a sleeve than a ring, the person with the penis wears the Pulse Duo while dry humping or gyra
