Okay, it’s conscious. But can it run doom? I rest my case.

If you want to learn the fundamentals of ML I recommend a book, such as Deep Learning: Foundations and Concepts by Chris Bishop. If you insist on staying online, one option is https://course.fast.ai/

If you don't know ML I don't think you're going to learn much through ad hoc demos.

I didn't know Bishop had released a new textbook. I will have to take a look at it. I wasn't the biggest fan of his Pattern Recognition book as I found it overly dense. I much preferred the Murphy and Alpaydin books.

Checked out the book on your recommendation, and they even have a free online option on their site! Very generous: https://www.bishopbook.com/

This book equipped me with the right intuition and tools to visualize machine learning. I wish I was smart enough to hold it all together.

You can "know" something for years without realizing its implications. The human mind traverses its knowledge like a man with a small flashlight in total darkness. Our beam of attention is small and narrow, so you need to put the right things in it, or the magic doesn't happen. This has important implications for learning. I don't know what they are though. Probably something like, "you can know something without knowing what it means." You haven't connected it to the things it's supposed to be connected to yet. I don't know how to fix that though.
