The first time I became interested in AI was in college. K-means, KNN, decision trees, etc. I remember talking to a professor about developing an AI to play Go, and I was studying Monte Carlo tree search, the best option then. Still, I never did anything relevant at the time (years before AlphaGo).

Vim was a big part of my life
