Must listen

“In this strange era of synthetic, disembodied ideas and may I even say « floaty expertise », it’s such a relief to find genuine experts with something meaningful to say”

Worth every penny (if you really listen)

“Hands down one of the most well-founded AI courses out there. It cuts through the marketing noise and fear-mongering with clear analysis and helpful analogies.”
