Some AI YouTubers worth a look
A few YouTube channels worth checking out for AI Summer School, grouped by where they tend to meet you: keeping up, getting better, building, and staying ahead.
A short list of channels for AI Summer School. They're all easy to watch and genuinely useful. The main difference is where they meet you: some are good for just keeping up, some for building your own things, and some for staying close to whatever's new. Pick a tier, follow one or two, and see what sticks.
How to use this
Pick the tier that matches where you are today, not where you'd like to
be. It's easy to bounce off the frontier stuff before the basics feel
comfortable, so there's no rush. You can always move up.
A good place to start
If you only want a couple
- Orient Matt Wolfe
- Build Nate Herk + Cole Medin

These cover the range pretty well: one for keeping up, two for building, and one for what's new. A fine place to jump in if you're not sure where to start.
