Gordon Lightfoot himself considered it his best work and I fully concur

I would recommend moving off of Duolingo if you can. What you move to depends on the language you’re learning. They fired a bunch of their language developers and went hard on AI.

I help run a community for Welsh learners and we’re finding more and more people coming in with questions about a Duolingo lesson where things are wrong and weird. Plus their business practices aren’t great. They realized that they make money from you staying on the app, not learning a language, so your progress is artificial stunted. Plus the complete lack of grammar explanation at all we’re finding hurts people more than helps

As a general recommendation, textbooks are so much better.

To answer the second. Nvidia today announced the $100,000,000,000 investment in OpenAI. On the face of it because AI is coming and this will secure them a larger chunk of the pie.

In reality, it’s probably a grift so OpenAI can go to other investors and say “look, we’re getting so much money, get on board or miss out” and then buy even more Nvidia product with even more investor money to keep the circle going.

Not give, but signed a $300 billion deal to purchase cloud compute power from them, which will be filled with Nvidia cards.
