AI Without the Hype

What the model is actually doing when it answers you, why that produces something that looks like thinking, why it invents citations, and the cost mechanic almost nobody explains: a chat resends the entire conversation on every single turn. You will do the arithmetic yourself.

AI Without the Hype

Briefing

This is not a course about what AI might do to the world. It is a course about what the tool in front of you does when you press Enter. The whole segment replaces magic with mechanism. You will see why a model that only predicts the next word produces something that reads like reasoning, and where that resemblance stops. You will get one to give you a confident, specific, completely wrong answer on purpose, then catch it. You will work out on paper why your fortieth message in a thread costs roughly eighty times what your first one did, and what to do about that. You will rewrite a bad prompt into an instruction and watch the same model produce a different quality of work from the same request. Nothing here needs a subscription to anything in particular, or any programming. You need a chat interface, a text file to take notes in, and a willingness to check things. By the end you will be able to say what the tool is good at, what it cannot know, what it costs you, and how to get more out of it than the person next to you.

  1. 01 What It Is Actually Doing
    3 lecciones·1h 22m

    Nothing in this module requires you to trust the tutor. Every claim in it is one you can test in a chat window in under a minute, and you are going to test them.

  2. 02 The Meter Is Running
    3 lecciones·1h 29m

    A chat has no memory. It has a transcript, and that transcript is re-read from the beginning every time you speak. Everything about cost, speed and "it forgot what I said" follows from that one fact.

  3. 03 Making It Do What You Want
    3 lecciones·1h 29m

    Garbage in, garbage out. The model cannot know the things you did not tell it, and it will not stop to ask — it will fill the gap with whatever is statistically ordinary and hand it to you with a…

Más en Programación

First Program — Scratch for ages 5–9
Beginner First Program — Scratch for ages 5–9 Nine Scratch blocks, three sessions of about twenty-five minutes, and one small program a child of five to nine builds themselves. Written for the parent sitting beside them: what to click, what they will get stuck on, what to say when it goes wrong, and when to keep your hands off the mouse.
Binary, Hex and Data Units
Beginner Binary, Hex and Data Units The topic that costs more marks than any other on the paper, taught by hand. Bits and bytes, binary and hex in all six directions, the 1000-versus-1024 trap, file sizes, transmission times, overflow, two's complement and character sets. Every module ends in a timed drill marked the way an examiner marks it.
Python From a White Sheet
Beginner Python From a White Sheet The exact sequence nine students have already walked, from a blank file to a program that asks questions, checks the answers and refuses bad input. No prior programming. No maths. You will break it repeatedly, on purpose.
IGCSE and GCSE Computer Science — Theory That Actually Gets Marked
Intermediate IGCSE and GCSE Computer Science — Theory That Actually Gets Marked The theory half of the paper, taught so it survives the exam room. The memory hierarchy and what actually happens at boot. Compilers, interpreters and assemblers, including the answer that sounds right and scores nothing. Databases from a spreadsheet up to keys and normalisation. DNS and the full path between pressing Enter and seeing the page. Systems software, and the ethical and legal section that is the easiest ten marks on the paper.
Programming for the Exam — Python Answers That Score
Intermediate Programming for the Exam — Python Answers That Score The programming half of the paper, taught at exam pitch. Pseudocode translated both ways, because the mark scheme is written in a notation nobody practises. Trace tables done column by column, including the ones with a loop and a condition inside it. Linear and binary search, bubble and insertion sort, what each costs and the comparison questions boards love. Validation against verification, and the boundary test data everybody forgets. Procedures against functions, and a systematic method for finding your own error with four minutes left.
Getting Audit-Ready — ISO 27001, SOC 2, Cyber Essentials
Intermediate Getting Audit-Ready — ISO 27001, SOC 2, Cyber Essentials A customer has told your company it needs ISO 27001, SOC 2 or Cyber Essentials, and given you a date. This segment takes you from that email to a scoped, honestly-documented, evidenced position — and a gap assessment of your own organisation you can hand to a finance director.
