# mk-slaunch-summer-of-ai-notes

Let's do something every single day of the summer. Like a series of 95 things from June 21 to Sept 23.

## post concepts

- links roundups on specific tutorial-ish zones (like don't do our own tutorials unless we have something really specific to add, but curate a collection)
- 

## notes
