       Is there a good book in print that is a practical introduction to LLMs, or that class of AI in general? I don’t want to get bogged down in math, but I want to know, for example, what a transformer is. What are embeddings and how are they (conceptually) generated? How do I use this technology in an applied sense? How do I understand what @simon is tooting about?

       @jamwil not that I've seen yetHonestly this stuff is moving so fast that a regular book would likely be out-dates before it even made it off the printing press!
