Just read a good textbook instead of this LLM-written stuff. For example those by Murphy or Prince or Bishop. Or one of many YouTube lecture series from MIT or Stanford. There are many primer 101 tutorials and Medium posts. But if you actually want to learn instead of procrastinating, pick up a real textbook or work through a course.
- jmatthews 7mo agoI've bounced off of many good textbooks. Even Karpathy's YouTube series was too dense for me. I'm trying to come in at a more palatable level. This was a two day exploration where I provided the syllabus and ran through it with Claude Code, asking questions, trying to anchor it to stuff I understand well. I feel like the artifact has value.
- bonoboTP 7mo agoI think chatting with an llm alongside a textbook can be helpful but producing learning material when you yourself are a novice is not really that valuable.
- NewsaHackO 7mo agoYes, and it is borderline irresponsible to even make this.
- antonvs 7mo agoIt's AI slop. You're letting a machine gaslight you.
- profsummergig 7mo agoFWIW, I found it quite useful. I liked that a huge amount of AI/LLM concepts are mentioned and compared. So it's a handy reference.
