What a goldmine of recommendations. I like Sam Witterveen’s YouTube stuff for keeping up to speed https://m.youtube.com/@samwitteveenai

My issue with YouTube channels that focus on AI news is that they’re heavily incentivized to give you a frequent stream of attention-grabbing news. Week-by-week updates aren’t that helpful. It’s easy to miss the bigger picture and there’s too much content to feel like a good use of time.

I agree with this statement, most YouTube channels are incentivized to keep repeating the same trivial information like how to compose prompts etc

Completely agree in general, but his are not that. Yes he talks about recent stuff but it’s very considered and not attention or influence seeking IMO
