AI

What is the best way to learn AI? links, books, basic shit?
Anything related for a noob is welcome.

Read PAIP. Don't be a newfag that pays for books and grab it on TPB. Most of it is outdated and became general knowledge now "AI" (how do i graph search?) but should give a good idea of how to express algorithms.

As per Tilton's Law: the problem to solve is not to write the actual algorithm, but designing the protocol ("interface" for the outgroup) for using the algorithm.

Generally after so many broken promises AI researchers (MIT, PARC, Symbolics, whatever) did, if you submit a resume stating you have an "AI background" you'll be treated as a new-age hippie wanting to get off "chakra energies".

Right nao the cool thing to do is design toy robots in Java which walk into walls because the Java "VM" is doing (mark-and-sweep) GC. Bon appetit!
