@hackproduct9: If you’re getting started in AI, the hardest part isn’t learning. It’s knowing what to learn. Most roadmaps throw 500 buzzwords at you: CNNs. RNNs. RLHF. RAG. LoRA. Agents. Transformers. Fine-tuning. MCP. Tool Calling. And somehow you’re expected to connect the dots. This is the mental model I wish I had when I started. At a high level, almost everything in modern AI falls into a few buckets: • Supervised Learning → Predict outcomes from labeled data • Unsupervised Learning → Discover hidden patterns • Reinforcement Learning → Learn through rewards and feedback • Deep Learning → Neural networks that power modern AI • Generative AI & LLMs → GPT, Claude, Gemini, Llama, Mistral, Grok Once you understand how these pieces fit together, the industry starts making a lot more sense. Don’t memorize tools. Learn the map. Because every few months the tools change. The mental models don’t.
