I'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.

I 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.
Yes, and it is borderline irresponsible to even make this.
FWIW, 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.
It's AI slop. You're letting a machine gaslight you.
