#4I don't think it's a good idea to kepp up to date at a daily/weekly cadence, unless you somehow directly get paid for it. It's like checking stocks daily, it doesn't lead to good investment decisions.
It's better to do it more batchy, like once every 6-12 months or so.

#5The poster's looking for articles, so this recommendation's a bit off the mark. I learned more from participating in a few Kaggle competitions (https://www.kaggle.com/competitions) than I did from reading about AI. Many folks in the community shared their homework, and by learning how to follow their explanations I developed a much more intuitive understanding of the technology. The first competition had a steep learning curve. I felt it was worth it. The application of having a specific goal and the provided datasets made the problem space more tractable.

How do you do that? Once you're out of the loop for half a year, it becomes harder to know what's important and what's not, I think.

#9As I was building up my understanding/intuition for the internals of transformers + attention, I found 3Blue1Brown's series of videos (specifically on attention) to be super helpful.
