I've bounced off of many good textbooks. Even Karpathy's YouTube series was too dense for me. I'm trying to come in at a more palatable level.
This was a two day exploration where I provided the syllabus and ran through it with Claude Code, asking questions, trying to anchor it to stuff I understand well. I feel like the artifact has value.
It's AI slop. You're letting a machine gaslight you.
I think chatting with an llm alongside a textbook can be helpful but producing learning material when you yourself are a novice is not really that valuable.
