This is a free book in PDF format in the well known "for Dummies" series. It's short and to the point.

Tx, I enjoyed reading. The book is aimed to describe on what is present in this moment, not to enumerate methods that will hopefully succeed in making AGI one day.

Although the whole book is a little introduction to advertisement for author's product Quill, nevertheless it is a nice read.

This would be ideal for those that visit seeking to learn. I think someone started a begginers post but I can't find it now. I'll have to sticky a topic with all these kind of links I think.

Thank you
