at some point we will figure out that because we took some much energy out of earths core that it stops spinning and causes the magnetic field to collapse ;-)

I think it is fair to call it more practice than learning. I hope to add more games in the future that focus on the learning aspect of things. However, as a beginner, I still find that it helps me learn new words. If I continuously make the same mistake and receive feedback on my answer, it eventually makes me learn what is correct.
I thought about that probem as well, and i think an important aspect that you could improve is by showing the correct answer much more visibly.
Right now it's hidden in a corner (iirc), so that i can barely see it. By showing the task and the answer next to each other when doing it wrong, the players might learn something of it.
What i typically recommend my students is to try to transform a learning task in a way that you need to apply a skill, without needing to do the skill itself.
For example playing english text adventure games is a very fun way to learn english. Players need to figure out what to enter using the keyboard and they use classical methods of figuring out the correct content (dictionary, translation) and they still have fun doing so. Even if it's hard work (not so much anymore with deepl etc, but back in the day it was). This can be applied to tons of tasks. - make sure you are not cheated when trading in a game. - keep up your reaction time by playing race games (a very good thing for elderly who want to keep theyr driving skills) - train your dictionary skills in scrabble. - ...

It's gamified. People like winning games. People dislike taking tests.
It's still not learning, it's verification of existing knowledge. It might be more fun than taking tests, nevertheless you cannot learn knowledge by testing knowledge, you can only verify it. Only if the user answers correctly you might consolidate the already existing knowledge.

I don't see how people can learn a language by tests, which are only telling you if you did it right or wrong. I can see how this is used to verify the existing knowledge, but I don't see any usage in learning.

From my experience this only ever looks good in a recorded video. Because we are used to assume that the real object captured within the video is perceivable in a stereoscopic form. But it‘s not. The real usage of head and viewtracking is as a controller, not to improve immersion.

this is a very misleading title. the study says ai is killing jobs and creating different jobs. it's only an economist view that could justify saying it's not killing jobs.
creating a kanban editor for vscode that can integrate images, videos etc. i use it for planning and creating lectures over several weeks. it can export to a marp compatible presentation format. it's coded with claude, because i would not have had the time to do it othervise.

- You provide AI systems used in the EU (regardless of where you’re based)
- You import or distribute AI systems in the EU
- You use AI systems in your business operations in the EU
In other words: if your AI touches the EU market in any way, you’re covered. Anytime an EU user consumes your product, you’re accountable.
