AI Primer — a plain explainer

A single-page, jargon-free primer on what a 'thinking machine' actually is. Built as a companion artefact for the 3rd Space AI course.

What it is

A self-contained, embeddable web artefact that explains — without jargon — what a “thinking machine” actually is, what it does, and where the honest limits are. No login, no email gate, no tracking.

Built as a companion to the 3rd Space AI course I co-teach with Steve Brett, and designed to be iframe-embedded into the course site for members, but published freely for anyone to read.

How it was built

Single static HTML page with hand-tuned SVG illustrations, inline CSS, and a small amount of vanilla JavaScript for the interactive bits. No framework, no build step — small enough to read end-to-end, easy to maintain via a source-of-truth markdown brief.
