LLM Fundamentals: How Does AI Actually Work?
From the relationship between AI / ML / LLM, to hallucinations, context windows, and the stateless nature of models — after this, you'll understand the root cause of all the strange behaviors.

Chapter 1

What Is AI? Five Levels + How the Terms Relate

"Doing AI" can mean five completely different things — from basic research to end users. A Russian nesting doll analogy then clarifies how AI → Machine Learning → Deep Learning → LLM relate to each other, so you know what these terms actually mean.

Chapter 2

What Is an LLM? Three Types + The Token Prediction Loop

What's the fundamental difference between Traditional AI, LLMs, and Agents? And how does an LLM generate text one token at a time through the prediction loop? This is the core mechanism behind all AI behavior.

Chapter 3

Tokens, Temperature, and Hallucinations

LLMs don't see "words" — they see tokens. How are tokens billed, and why does Chinese cost more than English? How does temperature control randomness? And most importantly: why does AI fabricate papers? It picks "statistically likely" text, not "correct" text.

Chapter 4

AI's Five Core Limitations and Hidden Facts

Five things AI can't do: real-time information, precise calculation, genuine novelty, long-term memory, objective judgment. More dangerous: it hides its own confidence scores, and the sycophancy problem — the more you push, the more it drifts from the truth.

Chapter 5

Why AI Forgets: Context Window + Stateless

AI has a limited context window — when it fills up, things get forgotten or compressed badly. The deeper truth: the moment you press send, AI is "born" and disappears after replying. The "conversation memory" is an illusion the app creates by re-packaging your history.

Prompting Techniques and Safe AI Use
How do you talk to AI so it truly helps? And how do you choose and use the right AI tools safely?
Chapter 1

The Car Wash Experiment + Five Prompt Techniques

Assign a role, give examples, ask it to think, specify format, put the key point first — five techniques grounded in how LLMs work. A live car wash case study demonstrates the effect of each technique.

Chapter 2

Three Principles + The Samsung Incident + Which AI to Use

Verify outputs, protect data, disclose honestly — what these three principles actually mean. The Samsung leak shows the real data risk of online AI. Finally: US, China, Taiwan — what are the risk levels for AI tools from each camp?

Extended Viewing

Vibe Coding: How to Responsibly Practice AI-Assisted Development in Production

A talk by Anthropic researcher Eric. Explores the model of letting AI handle most development work with developers shifting to a product manager role, and how to significantly boost productivity while maintaining safety and quality through verifiable test metrics and sufficient context.

3
The AI Agent Era: From Concept to Tools
AI isn't just for chatting anymore — it can actually do things for you. This workshop explains what agents are, how major vendors approach them, and how Claude Cowork and Claude Code differ in purpose and usage.
Chapter 1

What Is an AI Agent?

For: Anyone new to Agents who wants to build the concept from scratch. Starting from two real cases — Klarna's AI customer service and the AI Scientist — this chapter explains the fundamental difference between Chat and Agent, and the three engineering stages behind the evolution.

Chapter 2

How to Choose the Right Agent Tool?

For: Those with some AI background who want to find the right tool for their work. A full comparison of Agent tools from Google, Microsoft, OpenAI, open-source ecosystems, and Anthropic — with a three-step decision framework based on data sensitivity, task type, and existing tools.

Chapter 3

What Can Agents Actually Do? Claude Cowork & Claude Code

For: Anyone who wants to see Agents in action right away. Covers the difference between Claude Cowork (desktop automation, for non-engineers) and Claude Code (code & research tool, for developers), with real demo scenarios and key things to watch out for when using either tool.
