Ask HN: How do I get started in AI?

3•imwillofficial•2h ago
I'm an IT dude and have largely missed the boat on AI besides casually using the apps for a script here or there or questions I would have Googled.

How can I start using it for more? My concern is I will be left behind.

What do you do as an IT dude?

It all depends on how deep you want to go.

Building wrapper apps on top of LLM APIs takes barely more knowledge and training than normal frontend and backend dev works.

If you want to develop your own models, that’s probably the next layer where you need to learn about training, etc.

Even deeper is Ai research… once upon a time LLMs were not the bleeding edge… it takes research often times theoretical and steeped in physics and math to develop your own “ai”
