Duolingo distracted with music, Netflix and OpenAI invest in language learning

My two cents: Duolingo kind of has a quasi-monopoly on language learning. Adding LLM (which they are doing) may improve their quality, but it probably won't get them more users. I would even guess that it won't even get existing users to pay more.

Adding music and maths may bring them new users, though, and therefore more revenue.

Netflix/OpenAI can obviously hope to get some revenue by going into language learning, so it makes sense for them to try and compete with Duolingo.

I did not put the title of the article as title of the post, but what I thought is worth pointing out as described in my comment, there is no coverage on the big picture. While there has been coverage on OpenAI/Speak and Netflix/Thinkin and Duolingo/music, there is no comment (at least that I could come across) that puts these three into context.
