The new Model Thinking class seems especially applicable here, as it appears to be explicitly rationality-related. From the description, it looks promising.
I've signed up; it reads as doable, which some of the AI stuff reportedly hasn't been, I get the impression.
Not sure about your reports; as one data point I'm taking both AI and ML courses while working full time; they're quite doable (and I'm a rather average lw forum member as far as math is concerned). I have the impression at least the ML course has been slightly dumbed down for this wide an audience.
The ML class has definitely been dumbed down. The on campus class' notes and assignments are publicly viewable here.
I've found the AI class to be very doable, although a bit more of a time sink than I expected.
