AI threatens Duolingo's business model causing significant price decline, though technical indicators suggest a possible short squeeze recovery; the fundamental bull case remains unclear to the speaker.

What do you feel about Duolingo? That's going to be ticker, I believe. Yeah. Dol. So, here's the interesting thing. We've talked a lot about the whole SAS apocalypse thing and how that's not going to happen.

What I'll say is I suspect that these language learning companies are actually going to take a hit from some of the AI thing. And it looks like Duolingo probably already did this.

The stock is down from like 500 to a low here of sub 100. It's making a nice move back here.
