News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

I looked at the latent.space site and it didn't seem to be updated/maintained. What I would like is a reputable playlist/roadmap of things to consume to go from Senior Engineer to AI Engineer.

Foundation you need what, a primer on Linear_Algebra+Calc+Stats+Prob. At a minimum you have to know the language. Then, do you need anything of classical AI? Anything of classical ML? Do you even need to have any knowledge of Deep Learning other than it exists? Or transformers? OR do you just need a bunch of tutorials on how to implement GPT API's, structuring and managing prompts, etc.

I know all this information is out there but has anyone linked it together? If so, is it paywalled? I did a quite search on AI Engineer and before I knew it a site was asking me for 20k+ and 1.5 years of my life. I already have a master's in CS, so I assume I can make faster strides and do it for less. Can anyone advise?

I too have had a lot of issues. Not sure if AI is filtering my resume. One thing is I do think I am Aging out. 5-10 years ago I was getting i terviews with my tech companies now nothing, even with more degrees and experience.

The other thing that’s killed me is short tenured jobs. Like it’s probably better to have a gap than a job less than a year.

This is nothing like crypto, which is still a bad solution to a problem I didn’t know I had.

OpenAI is the dominant player in the hottest area and has a significant and valuable product.

No idea who will achieve Strong AGI but ChatGPT is the real deal.
