These are mostly available on podcast apps, but some come out faster on YouTube.

Latent Space is among the least hype-y of ML/AI podcasts: https://www.youtube.com/@LatentSpaceTV

Decoder is a good general tech podcast: https://www.theverge.com/decoder-podcast-with-nilay-patel

Hard Fork is good for informed analysis of hot topics: https://www.nytimes.com/column/hard-fork

Same for Sharp Tech (occasional free episodes): https://sharptech.fm/

Techquickie is YouTube-only: https://www.youtube.com/@techquickie/videos

It's very silly, but probably the shortest path to keeping up.

> OpenAI drama How could you have missed it? Half the threads here were about said drama when it was unfolding. I don’t really have any recommendations to give, because even I’m in the same boat and get to know things that I miss on HN through YouTube or through tech-focused social circles. However, HN’s best page[1] is something to look at occasionally to check if you’ve missed something. For general news, there’s W…

+1 on wikipedia's current events portal. One line summary per event, then a link to the article for more in-depth reading. It's a great way to condense information.

If you’re interested in learning jazz guitar, Jens Larsen’s YouTube channel is a veritable treasure trove. I have made huge progress following his lessons. https://www.youtube.com/@JensLarsen

This is awesome. Thank you! I love how practical he seems so far. Definitely not a purist. In one video he says you don’t need an amp, in another he talks about how he uses a $400 guitar. This is much more my speed.

I USED to love it, but I feel more and more Dagogo injects snide remarks and personal views on things. When he first started I had no clue who ran it, only that they generally did a decent job of covering tech subjects and it felt pretty objective. These days, quality declines + personal opinions/jabs are what moved me from yey! to meh!
