This is a great guide—thank you. However, in my experience as someone completely new to the field, 100-200 hours on each level is very optimistic. I’ve easily spent double/triple the duration on the first two levels and not get to a comfortable level.
Thanks, yeah that’s a pretty fair sentiment. I’ve changed the wording to “at least 100-200 hours,” but I guess the idea was more to present a very efficient way of learning things that maybe 80⁄20′s some of the material. This does mean there will be more to learn—rather than these being strictly linear progression levels, I imagine someone continuously coming back to AI safety readings and software/ML engineering skills often throughout their journey, as it sounds like you have.
