Duolingo announced it was going “AI-first” just over six months ago. Since then its stock is down 64%.



Agreed. Dwarkesh is just wrong here. GPT-5 Pro can now do legal research and analysis at a very high level (with limitations - may need to run even longer for certain searches; can't connect to proprietary databases). I use it to enhance my work all the time, with excellent results. I would REALLY miss the model if it became unavailable to me for some reason. And yet, the percentage of lawyers who actually use GPT-5 Pro for these kinds of tasks is probably <1%. Why? There's a myriad reasons - none having anything to do with the model's capabilities. Lawyers are conservative, lawyers are non-technical, lawyers don't know which model to use, lawyers tried GPT-4o two years ago and concluded that it sucks, lawyers don't have enterprise access to the model, lawyers don't feel serious competitive pressure to use AI, lawyers are afraid of opening Pandora's Box, lawyers are too busy to care about some AI thing when there's a brief due to be filed tomorrow morning, lawyers need Westlaw/Lexis connected to the model but that's not currently possible. I suspect that there are many parallels to this in other fields.


Caleb Hearon on AI: "T hey're in the process right now of manufacturing consent for this technology and when they come and offer people with cool platforms or audiences or whatever, and they offer you an outsized amount of money, which they are, all of them, they offer you hundreds of thousands of dollars to do an ad deal for them, they are doing that because they need your help to manufacture consent for this."
