A good chunk of Ng's work these days seems to be around AI Fund [0] which he explicitly mentioned in the video, in the first 5 seconds, involves co-founding these startups and being in the weeds with the initial development.
Additionally, he does engage pretty closely with the teams behind the content of his deeplearning.ai lectures and does make sure he has a deep understanding of the products these companies are highlighting.
He certainly is a businessman, but that doesn't exlcudethe possibility that he remains highly knowledgeable about this space.
- dcreater 1y agoHe's lost credibility in my eyes given that his courses essentially have a pay to play model for startups like langchain
- crystal_revenge 1y agoExcept they aren't pay to play unless you consider doing the work for the course the "payment". There's certainly an exchange since there is a lot of work involved, but DLAI provides a team to help design, structure and polish the course and then the team creating the course does the majority of the work creating the content, but there's no financial exchange. The DLAI team is also pretty good about ensuring the content covers a topic not a product in general.
- dcreater 1y agoThe content is a repackage of previously existing, publicly available notebooks, docs, YouTube videos. I wouldnt be surprised if the repackaging was done by AI.
- raincole 1y agoCourses are not academic journals, dude. They're supposed to be teaching you existing knowledge.
- crystal_revenge 1y agoAgain this is not true. I’ve known several people who have made courses for DLAI and they all put substantial time into creating the courses.
