@elonmusk if you could give one suggestion to anyone on where to start their #deepdive in #AI with current #technology and #innovation....what would it be? A class, book, direction, process.... I know enough to be dangerous, but want the next level and options are overwhelming.

@elonmusk not sure if you're tracking this, but I've been served this sponsored Ad on Facebook now about 5 times in the past 24 hours and if their site can be believed they are making a LOT of money, yet I can't find anything that suggests it's legitimate. It seems like they are masquerading and using your #Tesla branding to sell a probably illigitimate token.
