Friendly reminder that Duolingo was initially concieved to trick people into translating articles for free, which they later used as training data for MTL algorithms. Duolingo's primary purpose has NEVER been about teaching you a language, even from the start! slate.com/technology/2...
If it doesn’t charge users and, so far, doesn’t serve them any ads, how does Duolingo make money? It tricks you into working as an unpaid translation service. At the end of some lessons, Duolingo will ask you if you want to practice by translating a real-world document. Which will turn out to be, say, a BuzzFeed article. By melding together enough stabs at this task from high-level Duolingo users, the app can render a surprisingly accurate translation. Which is worth good money. So far, Duolingo has contracts with BuzzFeed and CNN to translate stories from English into languages such as Spanish, French, and Portuguese. This service is already earning Duolingo hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, but von Ahn predicts he will be adding a raft of new clients soon. “The language translations market is huge,” he says. “It’s a $30 billion per year market.”

Nice to have a citation for the stuff we all sort of assume to be true but question if it's just our own biases making it look that way
Screenshot from the article in the quoted post, saying "Piff and his colleagues found that upper-class drivers were more likely to cut other cars off at junctions and ignore pedestrians at crossings. Wealthier people also appeared more willing to lie at work. In one experiment, volunteers were left alone with a jar of sweets ostensibly meant for children. When the researchers returned, upper-class people had snaffled nearly twice as many candies as lower-class people.

“The general pattern seems to be that with wealth and rising power, you become less engaged with the needs of others and less burdened by the needs of social relationships,” Piff said. “Taking candy from children might be the least of our worries but it’s emblematic of the tendency to prioritise one’s own needs over those of others.”

The question isn't whether you're going to do harm. We all are. We all will. Dolly Parton did. The question is whether we're going to try to do enough good so that even with the harm we do, the world is better because we were here. And THAT is also what Dolly Parton did.

My Dad is dead. I didn’t understand how good he really was until 3-4 years before he passed, when I found out how abusive mom had been to him and my sisters. They didn’t tell me because I had a good relationship with mom they didn’t want to disturb. He stayed w/her for my sake until I was 18.

Had a worker say that while the Gross income for my wife & I was within the amount eligible for food stamps, but the Net amount wasn’t low enough to qualify. This was while my wife was fighting for disability (multiple auto-immune diseases) and unable to work, so just my single job income.

I could be mistaken but with God of War he doesn’t find out Zeus is his father until the 2nd one. He doesn’t actually get to end him until the 3rd one. First one is about slaying Ares which results in Kratos becoming the new god of war.

How long is a million seconds? ​

First, let me ask you a question: How long do you think a million seconds is? In terms of days, weeks, years, decades, or whatever.

Turns out it's 11.5 days. That's it. Less than two weeks.
How long is a billion seconds? ​

Now, how about a billion?

A billion seconds is 31.7 years.

So a million seconds ago was last week, and a billion seconds ago was 1993.
How long is a trillion seconds? ​

Okay, last one. How long do you think a trillion seconds is?

A trillion seconds is 31,689 years.

A trillion seconds ago, humans were still in the Stone Age. Writing hadn't been invented. Agriculture hadn't been invented. We were hunter-gatherers using basic tools.

Some of vou have forgotten that only three years ago you were perfectly capable of writing a text, writing an email, telling a bedtime story to a child and it should worry you that powerful companies
have convinced us we can't do things we've been doing since the dawn of time.

Big Tech is offering you a Faustian bargain. It promises to remove all the friction from life, to keep you from having to think or study, and the result is your brain will become pudding, you'll become
incapable of creativity or communication. They want to make you a non-person.
