Er, I’m bad at time estimates at the best of times. And this is a particularly hard case, because it’s going to depend wildly on someone’s prior knowledge and skillset and you can choose how deep to go, even before accounting for general speed and level of perfectionism. Here are some rough guesses:
ML pre-reqs 10-40h
Transformer implementation 10-20h
Mech Interp Tooling 10-20h
Learning about MI Field 5-20h
But I am extremely uncertain about these. And I would rather not put these into the main post, since it’s easy to be misleading and easy to cause people to feel bad if they think they “should” get something done in <20h and it actually takes 60 to do right. I’d love to hear how long things take you if you try this!
