Does anyone else also feel like keeping up with AI right now feels like trying to drink from a firehose?? I feel like I’m definitely missing some resources so this is a crowd source plea for what your go to resources are!

Every time I think I’ve got a handle on my workflow, a new security risk or a "must-have" compliance update pops up. It’s exhausting, but as a solo founder, I know that ignoring it isn't an option if I'm building for the long haul.

MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL SUBSCRIPTIONS:

• Y Combinator: This is the non-negotiable first stop for "Venture-Scale Strategy." They focus on the high-level economics of AI, specifically how to build "moats" and defensible businesses. Their Lightcone sessions are essentially a masterclass in evaluating whether an AI business model is a long-term asset or just a temporary trend.

•Superhumans Life: SuperHumans Life (Laura): This channel is a masterclass in "AI-first" entrepreneurship, focusing on how solo founders can use automation and agentic workflows to build high-profit businesses that don't require a massive team to run.

• MIT Sloan Management Review (SMR): This is the gold standard for "Executive AI." Their channel features deep dives with leaders like George Westerman on the "Last Mile" problem—why most AI projects fail at implementation. It’s perfect for moving from "pilot projects" to actual value drivers.

• Stanford Graduate School of Business (GSB): Their "View From The Top" and executive sessions feature icons like Andrew Ng and Jeremy Utley. They focus on "Decision Intelligence"—how to lead an organization when the cost of cognitive labor drops to zero.

• Cassie Kozyrkov: As Google’s former Chief Decision Scientist (and an MIT/Harvard alum), Cassie is the lead voice for CEOs who want to cut through the hype. She talks about the ROI gap, infrastructure debt, and how to architect systems that humans can actually manage.

• Andrew McAfee (MIT Initiative on the Digital Economy): Andrew is essential for understanding the economic ROI of AI. He focuses on how AI transforms corporate strategy and unit economics. He is great for understanding how to lead when "the geeks" (the tech-savvy founders) take the wheel.

• Marina Mogilko (Silicon Valley Girl): For a "scrappy but strategic" perspective, Marina’s interviews with CEOs like Andrey Khusid (Miro) and Young Zhao (OpusClip) are brilliant. She skips the "how-to-prompt" fluff and asks hard questions about pricing, retention, and scaling a $100M+ AI company.

• The AI Breakthrough (Andrew Currier): This is a great "scrappy" startup channel that avoids the guru-vibe. It features candid interviews with founders who are actually building in the trenches, focusing on product-market fit and the reality of 2026 AI unit economics.

BLOGS/EMAIL SUBSCRIPTIONS

•TLDR AI is my go-to for the "morning coffee" headlines, but there are four other resources I’ve leaned on heavily lately to make sure I’m actually building securely:

• Import AI: This is where I go when I want to understand the big picture. It’s written by Jack Clark (one of the Anthropic founders) and it’s brilliant for seeing how AI policy will actually affect us as business owners.

• The AI Safety Newsletter: This one is a lifesaver. It breaks down technical risks into plain English. If you’re worried about data privacy or "frontier" risks, this is your watchdog.

• AI Leadership Edge: I love this for the tactical side. It’s less about news and more about building systems that actually drive ROI without creating a mess of technical debt.

• The Rundown AI: If you like the TLDR style, you’ll love this. It’s super visual and great for catching quick updates on new tools and security patches you might have missed.

I’d love to hear from you guys: what’s your resource stack you’re using to make sure your AI learning stack is up to date and we build actually secure?
