So I'm 25 and I'm bored with my career (network engineer) so I'm taking ~6 months off work to learn programming better. Ultimately I want to end up in AI but I know that's far off for my timeline, so what I want to know is what are the foundation topics that lead to being an AI dev? Pic unrelated

Dat ass is phat.

It's simply perfection

I'm about to start a job as network engineer.
Why are you bored with it?
Programming will be the least of your worries
You'll want to spend a shitton of time on learning math, assuming you don't have much of a background in that
And what area of AI? Decision Making, Machine Learning...?

It's hardly perfection, looks pretty flat
>>51654793
Second that.
You'll need a lot of Statistics and Probability theory

Perfect to this white boy anon. When you're a neck beard like me, you don't get to be selective with asses. Hell I'll be lucky if I ever get to touch one.

dont us coins have milled edges?
top kek
math
also keep in mind ML is just a subset of AI as a whole and mostly focusses on data analytics, which probably isn't the most flashy of careers but is certainly gaining traction in the job market (probably going to be an incrementally bigger deal)

It's creatively limiting compares to programming. I want to build something from scratch and stamp my name into it. That won't really happen by implement pre existing systems. I wish you the best though, network engineering certainly has it's "fuck yes" moments where things click or you avert or mitigate disaster. I also did 150+ site turn-ups plus all the back work this last year so I'm also just super burnt
>>51654804
It's delicious

I haven't touched math in years but I got to calc 2 and did a couple stats classes, plus I'm always willing to learn. In terms of what I want to do, I'd either want to like build a 'human' AI that doesn't know it's not real, or do big data mining, as that's going to be increasingly important

>AI that doesn't know it's not real.
That should be pretty easy. Getting an AI to know anything would be very difficult.

quarters do, i can't remember about anything else
except maybe the pristine condition silver dollar i paid for some cheezits at the airport with ony my way out, pretty sure that was smooth
>>51654858
Only dimes and quarters.
Pennies, nickels, half-dollars, and dollars have flat edges.
