People still learn chess. So it's this hobby. And then the other big group of people that are learning a language here are learning English. And they actually want to learn. It's not going to be good enough for them to be walking around with airports all the time. They actually want to learn English.

I really believe that this is something that has differentiated Duolingo. We call it the design department. It's mostly art. There are a lot of artists in there. About 150 people in there. Wow. By the way, bear in mind, the entire company has 900 people. So about 150 people are, you know, artists. Art majors. And they really, it's amazing because they come up with all the unexpected stuff.

They're the ones who come up with, for example, we did a Super Bowl commercial last time, last Super Bowl, not this one. What it was, it was the owl and he was sitting backwards. You could just see his back, but you could see his butt crack. And then it started growing, like his butt started growing. Yeah. And then suddenly what it was, it was another owl grew out of the owl's butt.

And then it just said, do your Duolingo.

This was, you know, internally, internally, our artists just came up with that. And it made no sense and what the hell, but it was, you know, it was one of the most talked about. It may have been the most talked about or one of the most talked about Super Bowl commercials. It was only five seconds and it was just the owl, the owl's butt growing into another owl.

But this is an example of the stuff they come up with. They come up with really weird stuff. And I actually believe that as AI matures, what's going to be most valuable is taste. Because you could just do all kinds of things. For example, coding is getting easier and easier. And so probably a lot of the engineers are going to become kind of conductors of coding.

And I think just having all these artists here is very valuable because they have a lot of taste. I mean, they have... They really kind of have an idea of what's weird and what's quirky and what's unhinged that lets us go move the brand forward.
