You can find Harvard courses on everything from artificial intelligence to cybersecurity with edX, so what are you waiting for?

Yale has a lot of free courses as well.

Just waiting on my neurolink data port then I'll absorb this knowledge…
This isn't a new offering, but awareness is always a good thing. There are more classes available than are listed in the op - a total of 151. Here's a direct link to all of Harvard's free courses:

https://pll.harvard.edu/catalog/free?page=1

If you've ever heard of auditing a class - that's exactly what this is. You get the knowledge, but you don't take tests or get actual credit. It's like sitting in the classroom as an observer, but the advantage of it being online is that the courses are self-paced. You do have to pay, IF you want a certificate verifying that you took the class.

Many colleges and universities offer similar programs. Googling "free Harvard courses" brought up the link above. Substitute "Harvard" with the name of the school you're interested in to see if they offer a similar program.

Over the years I have used SD I saved $10s of thousands. But this I wasn't aware of these free courses. They are true gems in the noise of today's internet.
Started with CitiesX and already loving the quality of the narrative and the wealth of information that is there in every second of the videos there.
Thank You!

Imagine the privacy violations they can perform and the ads they can provide. Some dream of Androids, some dream of Apples.

There are quite a few free courses available at prestigious institutions. They are self-paced recordings of live classes. I started a course at Yale on death that was probably recorded on a camcorder, but the subject matter hasn't changed. It included pdf files of reading and other course materials. Check out this link to Class Central which has links to courses available at several institutions https://www.classcentral.com/report/ocw-courses/

Imagine what happens when the brain is hit with a DDOS attack!

I just imagined it and realized we already see that happening without the people having neurolinks. 😞

I'm going to have to exercise at light speed to thus slow time enough to have enough lifespan to absorb the knowledge from 1,700 classes.
