What are good sources for news and learning gen AI for a noob?

Don't waste your time. Learn a language and see how Gen AI writes it so you can understand how to manually fix it in 5 years. There will be money in this after people forget how to do it and Gen AI has overwritten all the real resources about it on the internet. Unless you're actually interested in LLM and not making money...

openai has a lot of resources and news, I suggest start there
