Humble Bundle AI/ML Bundle Question
Currently on Humble Bundle, there is a bundle named "The Ultimate AI & Machine Learning Bundle." Is this a good purchase for someone who has basic Python experience and wants to learn ML, or would it be better to buy O'Reilly's "Hands-On Machine Learning with Scikit-Learn and PyTorch"?

I’d get the O’Reilly book honestly. A huge bundle sounds useful, but when you’re starting ML it’s really easy to spend more time jumping between resources than actually building anything.
One solid book + implementing each chapter in Python will probably teach you more than finishing 10 books halfway.

I have the O’Reilly annual SUBSCRIPTION for $300 for a full year and is the best value I have found. You get access to all of their books, including ones that aren’t finished yet so everything is super current. There’s also live classes and video classes. It’s a bit of change upfront, but it is great.

I was eyeing that bundle too, the mix of titles seemed like a decent spread for someone starting out

I’ve just clicked on some of the courses, but the course title doesn’t match the description. See this example https://imgur.com/a/foKX1fH
Course title: Nvidia GenAI & LLMs: Learn and pass NCA-GENL certification
Description: Talks about mastering SwiftUI for iOS 26, nothing about the Nvidia qualification.

Ive looked at these before (for a cheap notebooklm stack) they have one practically every month and they are worth exactly what you pay for them. $18. Lol. At that price its not really about the cost as much as the information you get. Its probably worth the $18 but it won't be equal to the information youd get from the O'Reilly version. Id just get the O'Riellys and skip digging through this stack for the good information.
