That course is extremely good. Particularly the first six videos start from literally nothing (but basic math/coding), and build all the way up to AI models that were state of the art a matter of years ago.
The way Andrej explains things is brilliant - he'll write some code to visualize the data, then point out something that looks anomalous, suggest a possible cause, then write code to fix the problem, and then after it's all implemented say "oh by the way that function we just wrote is also a standard pytorch API". And you wind up understanding the API in a way you never would have if he'd started by introducing the API and then explaining what problem it solves.
The final video (on ChatGPT) skips ahead a fair bit, but is still a great explanation of how attention works. Incidentally I don't know any python but I had no trouble following along.
