Learning with Adult Responsibilities
Introduction
Over the past 6 months, I've been trying to learn more about AI and LLMs. ChatGPT had me hooked when I tried it for the first time. Over the course of this period, I've been chatting to more people, shitposting on twitter and working to learn as much as I can in my spare time.
That amounts to roughly 10-20 hours a week since I don't have much of a social life which has been about 4-500 hours in total since the time I started exploring this space so take my experience with a grain of salt. I'm relatively new and you're probably 2-3 months behind me at most, much less if you do it full time.
I've had some people reach out to me for advice on what to do and I figured I'd write a longer blog post so that I could refer to it myself and consolidate some of my ramblings.
