Duolingo is very much on the Enshittification path, seems like they fired a number of translators and have the rest just proofreading AI.

Yet, unemployment in most of the western world is very low. That could change, of course. We'll likely need universal basic income down the road. Or at least some very enhanced unemployment benefits.

    It's only been one year. I'd like to see how this topic aged in 2026. AI is developing at an unprecedented speed for a socioeconomic phenomenon of its calibre.

    Edit: And yes we might need some kind of government support. What scares me is, where do you get the money to support such a large population?
