I am interested in programming AI and will be pursuing that once I've gathered the more basic of skills. I think C++ is probably the right tool for that application. I'll check out css, html, and Java per your recommendation
neureal.net is an interesting blockchain application. An alpha level testnet was just released but the point is that you can record your AI results on a blockchain in a contest/sponsorship. A marketplace for AI agents. So as a programmer you could be paid to write java AI if your results are the best. That sort of thing. It is at very early stages though but perhaps could be of interest to you later on. The first datafeed prediction is BTC price, so if writing AI that predicts the BTC price is appealing it might be worth considering as a starting point.
