I know that with the rise of tools like ChatGPT and other AI models, a lot of people have started showing interest in AI but aren’t sure where to begin. So, I thought I’d share a good starting point: AI Safety Fundamentals. This blog is genuinely well-written, covering the basics of AI and its origins, and if you follow the footnotes, it guides you on a solid path toward understanding AI in-depth. It’s actually part of the course I’m taking at BlueDot, and I wanted to share it because so many want to learn but don’t know where to start. I hope it helps! Let me know if you have any questions on the topics. While I’m not an expert, I think I have enough experience to answer some of them. And also for the people who are already into AI, I think this is a good read for you too.

For the past few days, I've been working hard as finals are near and I have to study a lot. As well as practice my piece for the concert which is also not that far away. And work on my newsletter, draft article, finish all those writings, assignments, and a ton more. So, after designating every hour of my day to some work and really creating a schedule that forces me to focus at all times, I noticed a pattern. Whatever I do, if I do it first thing after school or early in the morning or basically at any beginnings, I tend to fall in love with that, I keep working and lose track of time and I just keep going and it feels so amazing. On the other hand if I stop even for some time say after 10 mins, I look at my phone for just 5 mins, it changes everything, I'm not longer 100% doing what my intentions were, instead I find my mind wondering off into many directions. What I found interesting though is that although I did competitively get more done in the first scenario, if I enter the second scenario, the opposite happens, I don't get as much done but along the way of doing my tasks, my mind wonders off to such amazing places and I find all these amazing ideas and patterns and feelings and answers that are just impossible to find with a pen and a paper and I love the feeling it leaves me with, there's no base, nothing to guide me, no connection between each thought, our mind is just so amazing and beautiful. These new discoveries you make, they're not some big new ground breaking discoveries, they've always been there yet we just forget about them, never see them, they're just simply amazing. So moral of the story, when you try and try to be intentional about trying and acknowledge your imperfections, you're almost promised to always be left with great outcomes.

Can anyone tell me how to solve this?

Yesterday was one of the best days I've had, and I wanted to share some experiences that I think will help you better understand this world and navigate through it. Since 7th grade, I was that kid who watched countless videos on YouTube, constantly wondering, "How does YouTube even know what I'm watching? Why does Google Search show me results similar to what I wanted to search for?" Being curious but clueless, I decided to search for "How does YouTube work?" I still remember a video by Tom Scott where he explained how they use deep learning and machine learning to suggest videos. This was about 4-5 years ago. While the core principles remain the same, the algorithms have become more robust over time. That’s when I became truly fascinated by machine learning (ML). From that point on, I delved deeper into the field—reading research papers, watching explanatory videos, and learning about deep learning, natural language processing (NLP), and neural networks. It was awesome! My curiosity was insatiable, and I often felt a bit sad that I hadn't discovered these interests earlier. But hey, I know them now, and that's what matters. Simply watching videos and reading papers wasn’t enough to truly understand and apply these concepts, so I started my coding journey. My first programming language was... haha, you’re probably thinking Python, right? Nope, it was HTML. I know, I know—it’s not a programming language. But I was just a kid who didn't quite understand what that meant, so I started with the basics of web development: HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. These aren’t AI-related, but that’s what my brother suggested, so I listened to him. However, my real journey began with Python—the first true programming language I learned. I’ve spent countless hours mastering it. For all those people out there, Python is just normal English! Don’t say you don’t know how to code in Python unless you don’t know English—that’s a different story. Maybe try Bhailang for all you Hindi-speaking folks out there (you know what I mean! 😂).

Hello, so, I wanted to make a post to see who here are CS students. My friends mentioned that Rishab Academy isn't really for CS students and that there aren't many CS students here. So, I thought I'd create this post to find out how many of you are into CS. I'm requesting all CS students and those interested in CS to comment below and introduce yourselves. Why? Because finding like-minded people is one of the toughest things to do. I know there are some members who are into CS, but having everyone under one post really helps us find each other and see how many people are actually here. Two things can happen: 1. Everyone comments and gives a good intro about themselves. 2. Might just ignore this post altogether. All I want to say is, finding a friend who shares the same interests and vision is rare, so be part of this and get to know people. About 2-3 years ago, I was also interested in CS, mainly AI, but I never knew or had any communities like this to connect with people who share the same interests. But in the last 1-2 years, I started writing about myself in some communities I know and talking about myself to my friends. While it might seem like flexing, it definitely helped me make some really good friends. Since then, I've worked on multiple projects, and the amount of work I've done in the past 1-2 years is more than what I did in the previous years combined. So, I'm asking members to comment about themselves so others with the same interests can find you. Please don't leave this post with no comments. :( To start off, I'll go first! So, hi again! I'm Chinnu, you might or might not know me. I'm a high school junior passionate about Computer Science, especially ML and AI. If you want a more detailed introduction, just check out this post: https://www.skool.com/qurios/4-years-later-it-finally-paid-off; I don't think I need to repeat myself over and over. But anyways, here are a few things not mentioned in that post: I'm currently working on some exciting projects, like developing a game-playing engine for Go and other ML/AI-related initiatives. Feel free to shoot me a message if you have any questions about the projects I'm working on or for any other reason you might have. Don't hesitate to text me though!
