Karpathy has an excellent zero-to-hero series on the topic in which he explains the very core of the neural networks, LLMs and the related concepts. With no background on the topic, I was able to get an idea what's all this about and even become dangerous: https://karpathy.ai/zero-to-hero.html https://karpathy.ai/zero-to-hero.html There's something enlightening in hands-on learning without using metaphors. He even opens the code of production grade tools to show you how exactly the concepts he explained and build together are actually implemented IRL. This is a style of teaching that clicks with me. I don't learn well with metaphors and high abstractions and find it magical to remove the magic of amazing things and bring it down to easy to reason pieces which can create a complex structure with composition so you can just disregard the complexity as a separate thing of the core.
