AI Training Starts This Week!
What's Next for Students and Paying Subscribers (Ep. 101)
Hello everyone! I’m sorry it’s been a bit of a wait since my last article. We completed the #100daysofnetworks challenge, and then I went quiet. It wasn’t from doing nothing. Quite the opposite, actually. I have been a creative force of nature, and it is very difficult to write while in the Figuring It Out phase of things. I’ve got some cool stuff to announce in this post.
AI training is starting this week.
Several paid articles are also planned.
I’ll do today’s post as a free article so that everyone will hear the announcements. I don’t want people to miss these opportunities!
Training Enrollment Is Open
First, training enrollment is now open for several courses that I offer, including one on Agentic AI. I’ll give you some information. If you want to get in on the GraphRAG class, you should go enroll right now, because this is starting in two days, and I am not going to keep the discount for very long. Enroll right away!
GraphRAG from Scratch
Enrollment Link: Reserve your seat today!
This class is starting on July 7, 2026. It is locked in and students have enrolled. If you would like to learn how to build GraphRAG from Scratch, this is the way. Anyone who wants to be an AI Architect needs to learn this. I am giving a 50% discount on all of my classes right now, and I am NOT going to keep that for very long. If you want to save yourself some money and learn something useful from someone who actually does the work, sign up today.
This will be a monthly class. This will not be the only time this is offered. So, if you can’t make the July 7 date but still want to save yourself hundreds of dollars with the discount, ENROLL TODAY and we will work with you on scheduling.
OSINT for Everyone
Enrollment Link: Reserve your seat today!
This class is starting on July 14, 2026. It is locked in and students have enrolled. If you would like to learn how OSINT knowledge and skills can help you in your own life, you should enroll. Again, the discount will not last. If you want to save yourself some money and learn something useful from someone who actually does the work, sign up today.
Learn to identify and avoid oncoming dangers
Learn to capture opportunities before anyone else
Learn to use information from everywhere all at once without being overwhelmed
This will be a monthly class and it is very important. I am able to build World AI, because my AI is a combination of OSINT and Language Models. :) So, if you can’t make the July 14 date but still want to save yourself hundreds of dollars with the discount, ENROLL TODAY and we will work with you on scheduling.
I also offer an “In a Day” version of this class that will be given multiple times every month. If you want to learn from the shorter class before taking the longer class, that’s totally fine!
AI for Everyone
Enrollment Link: Reserve your seat today!
This class is starting on July 21, 2026. I have created this course due to popular demand. I have been asked to create this. People trust me because I am a bit of a grumpy engineer. I tell the truth. I don’t follow hype, and I pay attention to useful information. My OSINT skills allow me to stay focused on signal while ignoring noise.
I was asked to create this class because people want to learn “No Nonsense AI”. They do not trust the techbros or the propagandists. They want to learn from an AI Architect:
What is real and useful?
What is nonsense or hyped?
Do we really need so many new data centers in our communities?
How can a total beginner get started with AI to make better decisions and support their work and family life?
I am a truth teller. This isn’t just for beginners. Anyone can enroll to learn a bit about how I use AI in my own personal and work life. This is not a technical class like GraphRAG from Scratch. I have created this training for everyday people, and I hope that they will take advantage of this.
This will be a monthly class, and the first class will be on July 21, 2026. Students have enrolled and this date is locked in. However, if you can’t make the July 21 date but still want to save yourself hundreds of dollars with the discount, ENROLL TODAY and we will work with you on scheduling.
I also offer an “In a Day” version of this class that will be given multiple times every month. If you want to learn from the shorter class before taking the longer class, that’s totally fine! Enroll today!
Building Intelligent AI Agents with GraphRAG
Enrollment Link: Reserve your seat today!
I am so excited about this. This is a new training being offered that naturally has fallen into place. I am so excited to do this. You should read Ali Abidi’s post.
What stands out to me?
GraphRAG opens the door to connected knowledge, multi-step investigation, memory, and much richer reasoning.
It is a very different way of thinking about AI systems than RAG.
I am legendary and a pioneer in Network Science, Graph, and AI architecture. :D
I have a unique way of simplifying concepts that many people assume are too complex to approach.
That last point is a FACT and the reason I write this blog. Several of you are now able to do things that I do, and I know that there are more Network Thinkers now than there were in 2018. I write, and some people learn from me. All of you SHOULD learn from me, and some of you do.
So, I hope that any of you who are AI Engineers, AI Architects, Software Engineers, or Data Scientists will enroll in my classes. I know this stuff because I do this stuff, and I enjoy showing others how to do things as well.
Sign up for Building Intelligent AI Agents with GraphRAG TODAY!
That was a lot! Changing the subject!
Ok, now you can probably understand why I have been a bit quiet. It takes a lot of work to prepare for training. For the GraphRAG from Scratch course, I have created a 77-page Student Handbook to give to each student, and they will receive the slides as well. It takes a lot of time to create that much content, and that is only the first class that is beginning in two days.
Student Handbook: Check!
Slides: Check!
I’m so excited, because we are ready to go. But I want to talk about something else now. When I am quiet, I feel guilty. I feel guilty because people are paying to support my efforts and I want to always give them value. A couple months ago, I decided to put technical articles behind a paywall so I can feed my family and pay my bills. Now, I want to talk about some upcoming paid articles, for my paying readers!
And if you are not a paying reader, you won’t be able to read any of them, so please upgrade your subscription today!

Upcoming Premium Articles!
While I was preparing material for the upcoming GraphRAG and OSINT classes, I realized that I had set things up nicely for writing a lot of new premium articles. If you want to read them, please upgrade. But here is what I have in mind.
GraphRAG:
Minimal GraphRAG from Scratch: I will write several articles. Maybe I should set up a side channel for this on my blog, like I do on my Verdant Eye blog.
AI’s Underdog: Attend my training or upgrade to find out.
Queries and Validation: How to make RELIABLE interfaces.
Simplifying Results: How to make things faster, more RELIABLE, and save money.
Generating Answers: I will write several articles. There are different approaches to generating answers.
End-to-End Testing: You don’t just vibe infrastructure. You make sure it works. I show how to do this. I come from Data Operations. If you want to be a serious AI Engineer, learn from me.
Reporting and Versioning: This is an important topic not talked about much anymore.
Iteration is crucial: How to iterate and why.
We’ll be talking through all of this in my upcoming GraphRAG from Scratch courses that are beginning on July 7, 2026. There is room for you in the class if you hurry and enroll.
I also found several things to write about in premium OSINT articles:
Text Analysis
Graph Analysis
Image Analysis
Audio Analysis
Spatial Analysis
There are a lot of exciting premium articles on the way. I’m sorry I have been so quiet. My MIND has NOT been quiet. I have just been unable to write and express myself while doing so much preparation.
Again, if you want to read premium articles, you must upgrade to a paid subscription. Free subscribers get access to fundamentals and announcements. Premium subscribers get access to the most important content.
Call to Action: Support My Work!
First, I want to send a huge thank you to my paying readers. This year has been so chaotic for me, losing a job and then bootstrapping my own company. My paying readers are literally putting food on my table. I am not RICH from writing books and blogs. Neither pays very well. That is just a fact. So, huge thank you to those who have supported my work.
You put food on my table
You help me pay my bills
You sometimes tell others about me
To everyone else who learns from me with a free subscription, I would really appreciate it if more of you would:
Tell your friends, family, coworkers, and others about my work
That covers my needs.
But it doesn’t matter if you are a premium or free subscriber, I need help getting the word out. I am a quiet introvert. At the very least, click the “share” button and share my publication. It takes seconds and helps me. If you don’t like the blog or information enough to share, why subscribe to it?
Help me out. Thanks. :)
I’m looking forward to getting back to writing technical articles again, too. So, don’t forget to upgrade to a paid subscription so that you can read premium articles.
Alright, I wanted to get this article out so that I would feel unblocked. Now I am able to get back to technical premium articles now that the announcements have been made. Happy 4th of July to all who celebrated, and *cough tomorrow is my birthday. :)
See you next article! Let’s build the future that we want!
Happy birthday 🎂
