Wonderful! Just went through the GPT video the other day and it was great. Andrej has a talent for pedagogy via simplification.


And he presents all this stuff with humility. Many people that present are just showing off and are pretty much full of themselves. I suppose they need the ego boost, who knows. But Andrej could be the nice guy next door in the dorm who is studying the same course as you, just that hr is a lecture or two ahead. (Until you figure out he is the former VP of AI at Tesla or whatever his title ended up being before he left.)

I can even recommend his interview with Lex Fridman.


Only finished the first video, but he even made two minor blunders in his code, but kept the footage. Really helps your confidence when you see a pro make a mistake rather than a perfectly polished but unattainable ideal standard.


He also is quite good at teaching and solving the Rubik's cube


Absolutely agree with this.


He is a master educator. While at Stanford he developed their undergrad machine learning intro course named cs231n which immediately became legendary. It's somewhat out of date on some details but it's still well worth watching especially as delivered by Andrej. You can find all 11 lectures on YouTube.
