It seems the foundations of “AI” as it is will be known for next decade or so are starting to stabilize. Future progress will be incremental rather than paradigm shifting

That makes now a good time to invest in exposing myself to things beyond ChatGPT and the other major chatbots, learning first principles, basic concepts, terminology, and how to apply them in the real world.

Where would folks recommend I start if I had 5 or so hours a week to invest?

Generally, I prefer to learn through video or audio plus hands on application.
