alt Hacker NewsI think you need to ask what you actually want to do with the AI.
If you want to be a researcher and come out with the next breakthrough, get ready to go back to school and learn some math.
If you just need to learn how to use it well and build things with it, then you probably just need to have a high level understanding.
Same as programming. I’d bet most programmers have no idea about the physics that makes computers work.

I keep thinking there has to be a better way to share context with models than dumping entire gigantic skill files of raw text or otherwise into them - I'm betting there's a bunch of low-hanging fruit there.
