Over the years, Duolingo has introduced countless creative growth hacks, but they still manage to surprise me with some of the smartest uses of iOS permissions. Their latest one uses Screen Time to lock selected apps until you complete your daily Duolingo session. What makes it brilliant is that...

Excited to introduce Icon, The First AI Admaker. We’re backed by Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund & execs of frontier AI labs like OpenAI, Pika, & Cognition. Icon ( is like ChatGPT + CapCut, but for making winning ads with AI in minutes. How it works: 1. Icon looks at your video library & tags scenes (e.g. "close-up," "unboxing"). These scenes become reusable clips used as lego blocks for making ads. 2. Prompt Icon’s AdGPT to generate scripts focused on specific angles & audiences. 3. Icon finds perfectly matching clips for every script scene & generates an ad that is 80-99% complete. 4. Make edits with our CapCut-like video editor until you're happy. 3-person creative teams make 30 ads per month. With Icon, they make 300. We co-built Icon with $100M+ revenue brands like Ridge, Jones Road, Immi, Backbone, & MUD\WTR to solve big pain-points: 1. Making lots of ads is extremely painful. Icon helps you automate the tedious parts of scriptwriting, scene matching, video editing, audience research, UGC creation, & more. 2. AI-generated ads look like trash. Icon remixes your existing footage into new ads, matching your production quality & maintaining brand aesthetics. 3. Existing solutions charge $2K-$30K/month for: 🔍 Competitor ad spying & cloning 📈 Creative analytics 📹 Custom & stock avatars for AI UGC 👥 Audience research 📁 Video storage & tagging Icon does scriptwriting & video editing on top of everything above for just $999/year (their margin is our opportunity 😉). If you’ve made it this far, we have a surprise for you 👇🏻

Elon Musk just told Joe Rogan every app on your phone will be dead in 5 years. Not struggling. Not declining. Dead. Musk: “You’ll get everything through AI.” Rogan asked the timeline. Musk: “5 or 6 years, something like that.” Rogan: “So 5 or 6 years, apps are like Blockbuster video.” Musk: “Pretty much.” That’s not some AI newsletter prediction. That’s the guy who owns the platform you’re reading this on telling you the entire app economy has an expiration date. Think about how your phone actually works right now. Apps trained your brain to think in boxes. One box for email. One for music. One for video. One for food. One for banking. Your entire digital life is opening and closing 30 different boxes. All day. Every day. AI doesn’t think in boxes. It thinks in intent. Musk: “Whatever you can think of or really whatever the AI can anticipate you might want, it’ll show you.” Not what you search for. Not what you tap on. What you haven’t even thought of yet. The app needed you to know what you wanted and go get it yourself. AI arrives before the thought fully forms. That’s not an upgrade to the interface. That’s the end of the interface. Musk went further. He said most of the content people consume in 5 to 6 years will be AI-generated. Music. Video. All of it. Rogan admitted AI-generated music is already his favorite. Not a prediction. Present tense. The ground already moved. Most people are still arguing about which streaming app has the better library. Every major tech company of the last 15 years was built on one assumption. That you would come to them. Download their app. Learn their layout. Give them your attention. Give them your data. AI inverts that entire model. You stop going to anything. Everything comes to you. Anticipated, filtered, delivered before you finish the sentence. The App Store doesn’t shrink. The concept of an app store stops making sense entirely. You don’t browse a shelf of tools when the tool already knows what you need. The phone isn’t dying. But the 30 icons on your home screen are the Blockbuster shelves of 2031. And right now, you’re still renting.

This info about META will BLOW YOUR MIND American “I worked in IT for like 13 years” “I learned a lot about data privacy — and social media and what apps are notoriously bad when it comes to data privacy. At the very top of the list, the worst offender, the worst app for data privacy is Facebook Messenger” “Let me just explain this to you. If you have Messenger on your phone and you don't have any other apps by Meta, you don't have Facebook, Instagram, threads, nothing. If the only thing from Meta you have on your phone is Messenger and you connect to a WiFi, Messenger makes a map of that Wi-Fi network. - It collects information about every single device that is connected to that network - So every phone, every computer, every tablet, every printer, every camera, every thermostat, every smart TV, every Roku device, and on every single one of those devices - They're collecting the name of the device, the IP address of the device, what type of device it is, whether or not your device has access to that device And this doesn't just happen on your home network, it happens on every Wi-Fi network you connect to. —- And it's a lot more information than just, oh, there's 200 devices connected to this network. No, it's detailed information about every single device. Like, here's a mobile device connected - it's an iPhone - It's titled Jeremy's iPhone - It's running iOS version blank blank - Its IP address is blank blank blank blank - Its MAC address or its hardware ID is blank blank blank But they also collect a crap ton of information from your actual phone. Like - The names, phone numbers, email addresses, and social links of literally everyone in your contacts. - Your location history - Your browsing history. - A detailed list of every single app that you've ever installed - YOUR PASSWORDS - YOUR FINGERPRINTS - YOUR FACE ID Spoiler alert, it's not. Downloading Messenger means that you consent to their terms of service. You give consent just by downloading the Messenger app. Using the service and downloading the app gives consent. Consent for your phone to be used as a data collection device. To collect data about every place you go and every person you're in contact with. — Messenger is easily the worst one”

An entire empire was overthrown over a two percent tax on a breakfast beverage. Look at what you tolerate now. You are taxed when you earn it. Taxed when you spend it. Taxed when you save it. Taxed when you invest it. And when you die, they tax whatever is left. That is not a system. That is a harvest. You commute in a car you paid sales tax to buy. You drive it on roads you were already taxed to build. You fill it with gas taxed by the gallon. When you sell that car, the next buyer pays sales tax on it again. The same car. Taxed every time it changes hands. You arrive at a job where your salary is cut before it ever touches your hands. If you work for yourself, you pay both sides. Two people on paper. Neither one keeps what they earned. Then you go home. Every bill you open has a government standing behind it with its hand out. You buy a house with money they already took their share of. Then they charge you property tax on it every year for the rest of your life. You want to renovate your own kitchen. You need a permit. You want to build a deck on your own land. You need a permit. You pay for the property. Then you pay for permission to use it. Stop paying property tax and they seize your home. Not because you missed a mortgage payment. Because you missed a payment to the government for the privilege of keeping what is already yours. You do not own your home. You rent it from the state. If you leave something behind for your children, they are taxed on what you were already taxed to earn. The same wealth. Taxed at every stage of your life. Then taxed one final time because you had the audacity to die. They found a way to monetize your absence. We are told this is the price of civilization. It is not. It is architecture. The most effective prison ever built is the one where the inmates believe they are free. They did not take your freedom. They priced you out of it. If you kept the full value of your labor, you would be free within years. Not decades. Years. The system cannot allow that. A machine built on consumption needs a consumer that never stops. You did not sign a social contract. You were assigned one. Now pay attention. They spent decades perfecting the extraction of your productivity. Now they are building the technology to replace you. AI is not coming for your job because corporations are greedy. It is coming because a system that already takes half your output just realized it can take all of it. Without needing you in the equation. You were never the point of this arrangement. You were the input. And the moment they engineer a cheaper one, you become a rounding error on a quarterly earnings call. They did not build AI to free you. They built it to finish what the tax code started. It was never about the tea. It was about the precedent. Today we hand over half our waking lives and thank them for the potholes. You do not live in a free economy. You live in a subscription you never signed up for. And the penalty for canceling is everything you have.

Locktober Brainwash and Cage Inspection – Mistress Uses Your Cage to Own Your Mind You kneel before me for Locktober, co¢k locked and straining, thinking this is your idea of devotion. You imagine you’re choosing this — but that’s the first fantasy I’m going to strip away. This cage isn’t just on your co¢k; it’s in your mind. Every throb against the bars is another neuron I’m rewiring to fire under my control. Chastity for Me goes far deeper than just denying you s3xual pleasure. While you ache and strain, I whisper into your mind, making you crave your own torment, making you addicted to your own humiliation. You can feel it happening: even though you know I’m manipulating you, you like it. You need it. The more I tease and torment you and make you aware of your physical constraint, the more it makes you aware of the control I’ve taken of your mind, until the only real pleasure you have left is the ache I’ve engineered for you. I tell you the truth you’re too weak to deny: before me you were nothing. My ownership is the only thing that gives you worth. The cage you’re wearing is not a symbol of “self-discipline” — it’s a symbol of your new reality, my growing control over you. It’s a physical trigger that deepens your mental servitude every time you feel it bite. To make sure you start off the first step of the most important decision of your life correctly, I order you to come forward and show off your cage so that I can inspect it. Every second of ache and desperation is just another lesson: you exist to be locked, teased, and manipulated by me, and I’m going to make sure you never forget it.

Every Bear Case Against $DUOL, Debunked: Why This Is a Future $10T Company. DUOLINGO IS NOT A “FUN APP”. IT IS THE FUTURE OF GLOBAL EDUCATION. I’m long $DUOL. $2000 PT. Here’s why every major bear case collapses on contact 👇 Most investors misunderstand Duolingo because they judge the surface, not the system. Cartoons ≠ unserious. Fun ≠ ineffective. That confusion is the opportunity. → Bear Case 1: “You can’t actually learn on Duolingo” False. Learning is not about information. It’s about behavior change over time. Duolingo does not promise instant fluency. It engineers consistency. And consistency is what creates mastery. Peer-reviewed studies show learners reach real proficiency. Outcomes improve every year. The product is getting better, not worse. Judging Duolingo by its pre-AI version is a category error. → Bear Case 2: “AI will replace Duolingo” Backwards. AI solves intelligence. Duolingo solves habit. Generic LLMs give answers. Duolingo gives progression. Learning only compounds inside a system that understands motivation, pacing, friction, and dropout psychology. Duolingo has run 16,000+ experiments. Not features. Experiments. Each one targets a failure point: • Where users quit • Where motivation dies • Where boredom creeps in Those micro-fixes compound into massive retention. AI accelerates this system. It does not replace it. → Bear Case 3: “Big tech will build a Duolingo killer” Unlikely. Frontier AI companies are locked in a capital-intensive arms race to build intelligence itself. They cannot afford decade-long obsession with one vertical: learning behavior. The opportunity cost is enormous. Duolingo already did the hard part. → Bear Case 4: “Education is shrinking” Completely wrong. Education is expanding globally. Billions of new learners are coming online. Traditional systems cannot scale. Teachers cannot scale. Software can. For much of the world, learning is not a hobby. It is economic survival. Duolingo is not a toy. It is global infrastructure. → Bear Case 5: “Language learning is niche” Absurd. ~2 billion people are learning English globally. Duolingo serves ~130 million MAUs. That is early penetration. This is not saturation. This is the opening act. → Bear Case 6: “Duolingo has no moat” Incorrect. The moat is not code. It is accumulated experience. Billions of learning minutes. Billions of micro-decisions. Years of iteration on human motivation. You can copy software. You cannot compress lived learning history. Same reason Spotify won. Same reason Palantir won. Iteration beats imitation. → Bear Case 7: “New verticals like Chess don’t matter” Short-term thinking. Chess is already Duolingo’s fastest-growing course ever. Built largely with AI. Not monetized yet. This is the Amazon playbook: Dominate attention first. Monetize later. Math. Music. Chess. These are TAM expanders, not side projects. → The ambition is misunderstood Management has said verbatim: “We are about 1% of where we want to be.” They want to compete with Harvard. That sounds crazy until you realize: • Education is broken • Personalization beats institutions • Data beats tradition Duolingo owns the best learning dataset on Earth. → The real insight The market thinks Duolingo is a game. Management is building the backbone of global education. That gap between perception and reality is the opportunity. I’m not betting against AI. I’m betting on the company best positioned to harness it inside a system that already works. $DUOL is not being disrupted. It’s doing the disrupting. $2,000 PT. One of the best-run companies I’ve ever studied. Luis von Ahn Read 👇
