### Purpose
Before I start a new job I want to use this opportunity to build something and up skill myself. I want to learn how to use AI well and understand how things work.
### Principles
- Praxis. I don't want to get too theoretical and academic so I want to learn by building something but at the same time I do want to take some time to understand how the underlying AI is operating.
### Outcome Visioning
By the end of October I have a decent understanding of how LLMs like GPT work. I understand how to use them and can build agentic systems effectively.
### Brainstorming
- What do I already know about this project? I have some good starting points on how to learn about AI and what I don't know about.
- What don’t I know that I need to find out? I am not sure if there's a better way to go about learning and what the right sources are.
- Who can I talk to who might provide insights? Dev, Karthik, Zgi and Thas are good resources.
- What can I read or listen to for relevant ideas? Karpathy has a ton of good content out there.
