Climbing the layer of abstraction from model weights doesn't seem to work in this field. Just saying it's so doesn't make it so.

- danielmarkbruce 3y agoOf course. You shouldn't take my word for it. You can learn the basics of AI/ML from a number of good texts. Simon Prince just released a very approachable text, although it doesn't cover much in the way of history to see the move to "more data/more compute, less human lead abstraction". I think Norvig's book covers that but I haven't read the latest version.
