Episode 8: Deel finally claps back, Exit Five Drive grand finale, and Duolingo catches heat for AI

The drama continues.

In Ep. 8 of Notorious B2B, Tim and Tas dig into the messiest updates in tech right now: the spy war between Rippling and Deal escalates, the finalé on Exit Five’s application-based event, and Duolingo catches fire for saying they’ll replace contractors with AI. (Yeah, that went great.)

What’s inside:

• Deel hits back at Rippling with a 5-count lawsuit with a wild counterspy claim
• Duolingo's "AI-first" announcement goes off the rails
• Exit Five rejection-ish emails go out 
• Reddit asks: are LinkedIn influencers actually bad hires?

Oh, and someone may or may not be trying to use LinkedIn as a dating site?!
