Got it done driving to Redding for a doctor’s appt. Pretty solid introduction to AI, nothing ridiculously deep. Kept things simple and easy to follow, which I appreciate since I wasn’t trying to get a PhD in AI while stuck in traffic. Covered the basics—history, impact on jobs, companies leading the way, even some of the weird stuff like AI "hallucinating." That was pretty fun to listen about!
