Hi all!

I live in a multi-language household and we are dealing with our kids learning their 3rd language (we speak English and German in the household, but I'm also Spanish speaker).

We postponed the third language for a while, as we didn't want to put too much on the kids, but now with the older being 8, we started introducing Spanish for him.

I'm doing all the teaching myself, and we relied for a bit on Duolingo, but Duolingo's plan is tailored for grownups visiting a country for the first time, like the whole first theme focuses on how to order a coffee, which is bizarre for an 8 years old.

Since I have programming skills, we took it up with my kid to build our own app, and we have been working together on that. It's been great to work on that together, but more importantly, he actually built something worth sharing.

It's an app for kids to learn languages, and is very kids friendly (designed by one).

He really does enjoy learning with it, and he uses it daily. We also do weekly (no app) sessions.

It's very hard for us to introduce the third language, and I always regretted not doing it before.

Any thoughts on this approach? Would love to hear your thoughts.

This planner allows peoples who may not be super familiar with matter to get automation recommendations and which products to get.

I've been pretty busy on this community lately, reading everyone's opinion on the AI score, and that motivated me to write my own views on it.

I'm not against the score per say, however, I do think it's measuring the wrong thing.

I’ll leave the accuracy debate to people who understand AI text detection better than I do. My concern is that even a perfect score would answer the wrong question.

A perfect score could tell us that the author used AI to generate some text, or to polish sentences, which is useful information about its process, but doesn’t say anything about the value of its contents. The fact that an author used AI doesn’t prove that the content isn’t worth reading.

And here’s where I differ with some of the anti-AI sentiment, I make a strong differentiation between AI slop, and content with actual value, where the author used AI to generate the text based on their opinion, their experiences, their knowledge or research. So if the author is able to use their judgment, and pass their views and essence while AI produces the polished result, so what?

The power of Substack as a platform compared to other social networking sites, is that substack promotes a relationship between the readers and the authors, a relationship that’s built on trust. A reader may find your notes, or come cross your article, at first there’s not trust, but curiosity, that sparks to learn more about the author, or read more of their content. Readers subscribe to an author’s judgment: what they notice, verify, recommend, and are willing to correct.

Here’s the problem that I have with the score, it doesn’t talk about the quality of the output, it only speaks about how the presentation was generated, though that may not be 100% clear to readers.

It sends the wrong message to new readers that may discard the content because the tools the author decided to use or even worse, imagine being a long subscriber from a publication, you always loved it, and now you find out the author has been using AI all along, how do you feel about that? Did the author betray your trust? Should authors be more explicit about their use of AI?

Would love to have some interesting discussions about this.

Hi all!

I recently started a new site, https://matterhome.io, to talk all about matter, matter news, devices, etc. The site is still work in progress, but we already have a team working on creating content, and we are publishing new things every day.

I know there are sites like this already, but I want it to give it my own spin, I'm so crazy for matter and the whole matter ecosystem, that I want to bring my own views, and also have a place where all things about matter are discussed.

I'm thinking of building a community around it, for now, anyone can submit content requests, provide feedback on existing content, etc.

Thoughts?

Thanks to all!
