  • If you asked me to guess the kind of kerfuffle that might develop between a Cape Breton fiddler and AI, I would have answered, well, my entire knowledge of Cape Breton fiddling is based on the paper "Cape Breton Fiddling and Intellectual Property Rights", so my guess would be just "the normal AI stuff". And I'd be totally wrong and reminded that just because I know one thing about something doesn't mean it's the only thing.

  • oh thanks, this is great.

    yes now that it is pointed out, very eugenics-y to go around saying "ah yes there is one true supreme bacteria, we should culture this bacteria on the human petri dish aka vagina"

  • Duolingo is dying celebratory thread

    Jump

  • I started using duolingo for japanese in maybe 2022 and quit in maybe 2024. I did 4 years of Japanese in high school and so I had a vague memory of grammar and some vocab. Duo didn’t really improve my situation; I think all i got out of duolingo was frustration.

    Also, I can’t speak to other examples of it, but the gamification was ass. Games are usually trying to be fun.
