The Story Behind the Site
Welcome! We started CKSE.com because, simply put, we need to learn. We are a small group of co-authors, united by a common starting point: a lack of AI expertise. Each of us has unique and compelling dream projects in mind – ambitious ideas that require expertise in AI and related technologies that we currently lack. This site is our collective hub for that journey.
It documents our process of acquiring knowledge through finding, reviewing, and curating the materials and resources that we have found very helpful, as we navigate the world of AI learning. Our goal is to find the best materials while we are learning and share them with anyone else on a similar path.
We expect the AI journey ahead to be exciting and challenging. Exciting because AI provides us with an abundance of opportunities. While challenging because AI is complex and we are not computer trained professionals. Also, we are keenly aware of the risk of excessive reliance on AI, and we strive to prioritize and protect our own thoughts and ideas. Nevertheless, with great hope and anticipation, we happily embark on this learning journey.
Clarity on Authorship: “We” vs “I”
This site is maintained by co-authors. We share the common goal of mastering AI but are pursuing separate, individual dream projects.
When we use “We”: This refers to the collective team responsible for the site's overall operation, foundational content (labeled as Know), and general site policies.
When we use “I”: This is used in individual posts (primarily those labeled Curate and Apply) where an author is sharing his/her personal experiences, tutorials, projects, thoughts, and reviews.
We have chosen not to identify posts by name. This maintains focus on the shared learning material, while each co-author remains fully accountable for his/her published work.
Our Core Commitments to You
Authenticity: Every resource shared here is one an author is actively using, reviewing, or seriously considering for his/her own learning and projects.
Transparency: We will always be open about how this site is run and maintained. Our ultimate goal is to fund future dream projects through this site.
Focus: The content is specifically geared toward the practical knowledge required to turn ideas into real-world AI applications.
Our Operating Status & Author Privacy
Please note that the co-authors of this site are all learning and contributing on a part-time basis alongside other commitments. Our mission remains clear, but our content schedule will reflect this reality. We have chosen to remain private individuals and do not disclose the names of the authors.
