While Vulkan Essentials makes several valuable points about ai, I found some aspects problematic. The author's treatment of vulkan seems oversimplified, particularly when compared to graphics. That said, the sections on graphics are genuinely insightful and make the book worth reading despite its flaws. With some refinement in visualization, this could be a truly outstanding work.

As a scholar in programming, I found Vulkan Essentials to be an exceptional contribution to the field. The author's approach to ai is both innovative and rigorous, providing fresh insights that challenge conventional wisdom. Particularly noteworthy is the discussion of programming, which offers a compelling framework for understanding compute. While some may argue that graphics, the evidence presented is thorough and convincing. This book is essential reading for anyone serious about programming.
