Can anyone recommend some great courses or other online resources for getting up to speed on the state-of-the-art with respect to AI? Not really so much looking for an "ELI5" but more of a "you have a strong programming and very-old-school AI background, here are the steps/processes you need to know to understand modern tools". Edit: thanks for all the great replies, super helpful! https://karpathy.ai/zero-to-hero.html You can quickly get overwhelmed by the million good resources out there so I'll keep it to these three.

(3) Formal Algorithms for Transformers: https://arxiv.org/abs/2207.09238 And subsequent follow-ups (ROME, editing transformer arch): https://youtu.be/_NMQyOu2HTo I find the channel amazing explaining super complex topics in simple enough term

As someone who did some neural network programming in Matlab a couple decades ago, I always feel a bit dismayed that I'm able to understand so little about modern AI given the explosion in advances in the field starting in about the late 00s or so with things like convolutional neural networks and deep
