Top Scientist REVEALS: We Invented Heaven, God Is A Human Invention! | Prof Brian Greene
The Columbia string theorist in long-form conversation on cosmology, entropy, consciousness and where meaning comes from — including his view that religious belief is something humans built rather than something the universe contains. The headline is the channel's framing, not Greene's: what is actually here is a physicist working carefully through the questions physics cannot settle, and being candid about where his own answers stop. Worth watching as much for how he holds a line under sensational packaging as for the cosmology.
Intro to Large Language Models (lecture)
One of the clearest technical explanations of LLMs ever recorded. Karpathy walks from tokenisation through attention to RLHF. Mandatory viewing for anyone working in this space.
Let's Build GPT from Scratch
Karpathy builds a GPT implementation in ~2 hours of live coding. The single best way to understand what a transformer actually is. Code is clear, explanations are exceptional.
The Spelled-Out Intro to Neural Networks & Backprop
Micrograd: building autograd from scratch with pure Python. The deepest, most rigorous treatment of backpropagation I've seen in video format. Essential before you touch PyTorch.
