Three buckets for keeping up with AI
YouTube and podcasts I follow.
Nobody:
Me: Here's what I watch and listen to, to keep up on AI.
I keep telling people when no one is asking, so here's the list. I sort everything into three buckets: big picture on AI, deploying AI in an organization, and how to use different AI tools.
Big picture
Peter Diamandis has a twice-a-week podcast called Moonshots. Guests like Eric Schmidt, Cathie Wood, Ray Kurzweil. These guys seem smart and they're genuinely positive about AI, which I like because so much of the content out there is doom and gloom. It's a lot of good high-level thinking about where all of this is headed over the next 2 to 10 years.
Diary of a CEO is also worth following here. Not exclusively AI but a lot of their episodes go deep on it and the guest list is strong.
Organizational strategy
Nate B. Jones puts out daily videos and a Substack. Former Amazon product leader, 20 years in tech. His stuff is aimed at executives and team leads trying to figure out what to actually do with AI. I like his frameworks. If you're a leader making decisions about AI right now, he's probably the single most useful person to follow.
The how-to
The AI Automators cover no-code automation workflows, building agents, RAG. Good for getting to build stuff.
Dylan Davis AI goes tool by tool with walkthroughs and optimization tips for whatever you're already using.
Nate is probably who impacts most of my thinking about AI. The big picture stuff is interesting but it doesn't change what I'm doing. The how-to stuff is useful but it doesn't change how I approach things. The organizational strategy is my biggest interest.
