I'm someone who would like to get "really good really fast", but have found that the on-ramps remain pretty weak. For instance, I have yet to find a good book on the subject. There are a ton of tutorials and articles, but it's maddening to try to cobble together any depth of understanding from those little nuggets. And there are tons of good papers on how the systems actually work, but these are not very useful for people who are new to this set of tools to figure out how to use them to create useful things. But I think this will hole will close up incredibly quickly over the next six months. (And it's yet another really good opportunity for people like you to be involved in that gold rush!) Edit to add: For instance, the article lightly lambasts peoples' recommendations to read up on AI / ML fundamentals, and contains this: > n the near future, nobody will recommend starting in AI Engineering by reading Attention is All You Need, just like you do not start driving by reading the schematics for the Ford Model T. But, amazingly, it doesn't actually suggest an alternative starting point*. There is this call to action about the conference, but presumably that will mostly be people who have already figured this out to some degree. But (to carry on the author's analogy) what is the recommendation for driver's ed?
