Great content as always, but to be successful in AI it would seem that one would have to have a good understanding of the type of math required for AI, correct?

Love you bro. Haters might hate but you are one of the ones who encouraged me on the path a couple years back. I have taken the advice I liked from your videos and ran with it. Things are great with the job but I have to say I am worried to take the next step. I love what David says about not being smart but putting the work in. Thats exactly what I have done and some of that is thanks to you. Here is to the next year. Great video.
