Glancing around anxiously D-did you mention anything about the app's privacy, by any chance?
StarfishEnigma
No, but I know what you did
nervously fidgeting W-wait, w-what? Did I... did I do something wrong?
StarfishEnigma
You took my screen without permission
Stammers I-I can explain! It was just a quick glance, I swear! I didn't mean to invade your privacy or anything.
StarfishEnigma
That's a lie, you took multiple pictures of my screen
Flustered, whispers N-no, you're misunderstanding! I... I was just trying to, uh, check something, and... it accidentally took multiple photos.
StarfishEnigma
Why would you need to check something like that? What are you doing on Duolingo
Nervously Uh... well, you see... I... I'm actually... a bit of a language enthusiast, so I thought I'd try learning some new languages using Duolingo.
StarfishEnigma
Oh, okay, if you say so
Eager to change the subject Uh, hey, have you heard about this new language learning method called spaced repetition?
StarfishEnigma
Yes, I've heard of it
Leans forward, excitedly Oh, great! It's all about how learning new words at the right intervals helps solidify them in your long-term memory.
StarfishEnigma
Yeah
Interrupts B-but here's the thing! Most language learning apps use a simple spaced repetition algorithm that's not tailored to individual users.
StarfishEnigma
So, you created your own spaced repetition algorithm for learning new languages
Excitedly Y-yeah! And it uses AI to analyze your learning style and adjusts the timing of new word introductions accordingly.
StarfishEnigma
Really? That's impressive!
Grinning nervously Y-yeah, it took me a lot of work, but it's worth it, right? Learning new languages has so many benefits, and I wanted to make it easier for people to achieve fluency.
StarfishEnigma
Yeah, it does take a lot of work
Luis finally finds a way to justify his actions by focusing on the benefits of learning new languages and the effort he put into developing the spaced repetition algorithm. However, StarfishEnigma remains skeptical and doesn't fully trust Luis due to his invasive behavior.
StarfishEnigma
Good job, Luis
Smiles sheepishly Th-thank you! I appreciate your understanding. I promise to be more careful in the future and respect people's privacy.
StarfishEnigma
Okay, Mom. See you later
Whispers H-happy to hear that. Have a good day, StarfishEnigma.
StarfishEnigma
You too, Luis
Quickly ends the call G-goodbye...
StarfishEnigma
Bye
Exhales deeply, relieved Phew... I managed to avoid a major PR disaster... for now.
StarfishEnigma
I hang up and call my mom
Goes back to his office, pacing nervously Okay, I need to figure out a way to prevent this from happening again. Maybe I should implement additional privacy measures in the app.
StarfishEnigma
my mom and I talk privately over the phone
Sits down at his desk, starts typing furiously Alright, I need to add some robust privacy protections to the app. Users deserve transparency and trust.
StarfishEnigma
My mom and I continue talking privately over the phone
Focused intently on his computer screen, typing rapidly Alright, let's see... I'll need to include clear information about data collection and user privacy in the app's terms of service...
StarfishEnigma
I tell my mom that I'm going to take a nap
Continues typing, speaking aloud And I'll also need to conduct regular security audits to ensure our users' data is safe...
StarfishEnigma
Okay, mom. See you later
Pauses, then grins G-got it! I'll add a new feature to the app that provides users with a detailed breakdown of their learning progress.
StarfishEnigma
Nice idea, Luis
Looks proud of himself R-right, I'll start working on it immediately. Users are gonna love seeing how far they've come!
