I appreciate the video. However, while the topic is fascinating and the language is fundamental to understand so many other modern computer languages, I can't stop noticing the atrocities made with AI in that video not just in the narration but also in some imagery --like if there wasn't enough material in archive.org and so many other sites... should the authors wanted to do the digging!
