<p align="center"><i>This is an amazing video isn't it?</i></p>

It goes without saying that the above video is an amazing culmination of [Yosh's](https://www.youtube.com/@yoshtm) work. It's also highly inspiration. These results were apparently obtained by just running some code through a personal computer for a long time. Based on the hype about AI, it gives the impression that one needs very potent computers to teach these computers to do anything useful. But if a simple PC can generate what are demonstrably good results, then it's very reassuring for the layman that one can learn about these technologies on a budget.

Thankfully, this area of research has existed for a long time so there is a vast amount of open-source software to learn about it. A great example of this accesibility are free courses like __FreeCodeCamps's__ [Machine Learning with Python Certificate](https://www.freecodecamp.org/learn/machine-learning-with-python/). I admit, I was amazed when I saw this when I looking for tutorials on web development. It was just _there_ and found difficult to _not_ go through the course out of sheer curiosity.

Once you dive into this world you soon discover even more free resources to learn about AI. There's even free _textbooks_ about the stuff. Here's some that caught the attention of my untrained eye:

If we keep going there's a ocean of _paid_ courses on AI available at websites like [Coursera](https://www.coursera.org/search?query=machine%20learning). Now that impressive!

Still, keeping with the spirit of this blog that is hosted on [github pages](https://pages.github.com/) and written on old Thinkpad running [Xubuntu](https://xubuntu.org/download/), I think its best to stick with the non-paid courses (for now). There's no need to pay for education on topics one may-or-may-not end up liking and just don't mesh with intellectually. Those who have churned-out a college degree can attest to this.
