INTERACTIVE LESSONS · FROM SAND TO AI

TRICKEDROCKS

We took sand and taught it to think. Here's how, one layer at a time. Don't just watch it: build it yourself.

▶ START EP 01

THE HOOK

01

The Parallel Machine

Why are GPUs so fast, so expensive, and so loved by AI? Build a chip and race a CPU.

▶ PLAY

THEN, FROM THE GROUND UP

02

The Switch

Wire circuits, click relays, dope silicon and build your own transistor.

▶ PLAY
03

Gates

AND, OR, NOT, and why NAND alone can build everything.

SOON
04

Teaching Rocks to Count

Wire gates into an adder. 1 + 1 = 10.

SOON
05

Memory

A loop of gates that remembers one bit, then a billion.

SOON
06

The CPU

Fetch, decode, execute. Build a tiny processor and run your first program.

SOON
07

Assembly → C

From raw instructions to real code, and what the compiler does for you.

SOON
08

The GPU, For Real

Warps, memory, and hiding latency. Build a tiny GPU core.

SOON
09

The Thinking Rock

Neurons, matrices, and training: how AI actually runs on silicon.

Each episode has a video and an interactive page. Episode 1 is the hook: the big idea, no prerequisites. Episodes 2 to 9 go all the way down, then climb back up.
