Anyone can learn the technology people call "AI"

It's important that what people used to call "FAANG+", now the "Mag7," doesn't own all the learning, certification, and actual tech stack for AI like they did for mobile and cloud.

We need a "public tech stack," a big part of that is having certification that isn't directly tied to the Mag7. OpenAI is loosely Microsoft, but not yet fully owned. Anthropic now has multiple deployments, but still largely Mag7 or their API only.

Huggingface and Uplimit are good independent learning/certification schemes.

Coursera, Udemy, and Udacity are the old school learning platforms. I'm not sure how deep they get currently on things like Fine-tuning, RAG, MLOps based in PyTorch, etc.

There's also a lot of grift teaching too, where basic knowledge is given at high prices.

Truth. AI is definitely the next step in progress.

I’d like to become more informed on these things so thanks.

I find I tend to start things then drop them when I don’t have the head for it. I have a passion for it yet as soon as roadblock comes in I’m not willing to persist.

I’ve tried to skill into many things health wise the attention ain’t there. I’ve done coding, app building, game building, crypto code wanting to float an exchange once. My tenacity to stick with it even tho I know intuitively it’s the way to go doesn’t fly.

I’ve had so much influence in it like my brother started a games company from the ground up yet dropped it like me as the coding proved too great. Or he was part of mobile network infrastructure even asked me to repair PCs for a living. I kindly declined cos working with fam rarely ends well.

You can try "Vibecoding," with WindSurf, Cursor, Augment, Replit, or one of the tools directly.

I’ve gone to the AppStore to find this is now so common. You can generate ai lyrics to ai pics to videos, to face swaps and voice reading to altering, everything. I got a dragon eating an apple to animate and eat an apple. Then of course auto code. To chat ai for assignments even maths problems to a whole spate of things.

Then I had a most fascinating idea has anyone opened a thread on ai correlating every personality mode with mbti. The info received when I asked is interesting.

Also I found it very helpful indeed in answering questions in regard to health. A lot better than expected. It’s been an informative journey.
