New for @FastCompany: Disney reported Q4 earnings and despite modest gains in streaming and sports, linear networks saw a decline—continuing to fuel the trend of cord-cutting customers migrating to streaming as ad dollars also make a shift that way.

Subscriber growth couldn’t offset deeper losses in linear networks, weak theatrical results, and a carriage battle with Google that could drain tens of millions.

Duolingo reported in its latest quarterly earnings that it surpassed 50 million daily active users and in a shareholder letter said that chess has become the “fastest-growing subject.”
Exclusive: When @duolingo launched a new chess course this summer, it quickly became a hit. For @fastcompany, I spoke with some members of the team about how they created the product in less than a year by vibe coding and using AI early in the process.

Döpfner also said media companies should be like music labels for journalists, treating journalists like artists to be supported and grown individually. He also alluded to Substack, saying he considers creator platforms to be competitors to Axel’s media brands.
In a town hall with staff, Axel Springer CEO Mathias Döpfner was pressed about the company’s use of AI. “Does it replace jobs here and there? No doubt about it,” he said. He noted that he hopes embracing AI will grow the company and allow journalists to focus on reporting.

Duolingo’s new chess course is the clearest illustration of how a large company can use AI coding apps to accelerate product development.
