I don't think this is necessarily terrible, although if it's actual 14-hour days I don't see how people will bathe and exercise, so it seems a little dubious.

I wouldn't be able to take the course myself, because I'm not American, and there's a whole bunch of other reasons why it wouldn't make sense for me to take the course even if I were, but I see one or two problems with the presentation of it:

Firstly, I don't see the course material-- is the idea to teach people Pytorch, NNs and statistics in 12 weeks, or is to take someone who knows how to train an NN, knows a lot of statistics and probability theory and teaching how to do practical things productively? Is it a course stringing together LLMs? I feel that the course doesn't say whom it is for.

Secondly I don't see any names. It's nice to have a name and a picture of someone who has actually done something neat. It doesn't have to Sutskever, or Welling or Kingma or somebody of that sort, but a picture of someone with a couple of really neat publications would probably do wonders for credibility.

How many hours a week is expected of the actual job at the end? If 80 hours a week, I don't know how many AI engineers are willing to work for 38 dollars an hour.
