We talk about:
- How as a kid he hacked into his school's network and gave himself good grades, just like the kid from Wargames. (Don't try this at home.)
- What he learned from helping fix 5,000 people's computers
- How Machine Learning actually works. What the AI models are actually doing for you in the background.
- His advice for anyone getting into Machine Learning in 2024, in terms of what to prioritize learning
Can you guess what song I'm playing on my bass during the intro? It's from a 2020 song by an Australian musician.

Great episode, I have watched Daniel content for a long time now and it's great to know more about him. I think that the wisdom about how to get into Machine Learning is really useful. Also I did not expect to hear about a Charles Bukowski novel in the podcast and it was great 😂

Get ready to learn another topic from FCC🎉❤

I want to learn ML and statistics. However, I am unsure if I should pursue an open university degree or learn online like Daniel, even though I am 48 and have no education.

Thank you freedocecamp! Daniel Bourke is The King of Pytorch! Pytorch finally clicked in my head after taking his course!
