Only twitter.
I try to avoid and filter out "the 10 best [insert random topic] tools" type of tweets and focus on quality thoughts and findings

I use library IN every time. It's very comfortable and easy. I don't know what I doing without this tool https://library.phygital.plus/
I am interested in open-source models which are accessible to build products - I created a Notion page where I'm accumulating resources "AI for everyday developers".
Let me know if you know about more good resources to put there.

All the suggestions in the comments are useful. But at the end of it, you will end up with a lot of threads and blog posts.
1. After pooling all the resources, I classify them into different topics. e.g. anything related to TensorFlow and PyTorch goes into the AI-Tools class.
2. I have several such classes. I will rank and sort the classes based on what I am interested in that month.
3. The next step is to print all the resources and read them in one go. Printing physical copies has been a game-changer for comprehension.
4. I top it up by presenting what I have learned in that month to a friend or through a tech talk in my company.

For me the best resources for information are
1. Twitter by following content of AI influencers
2. Discord channels of few popular communities
3. Hackernews and Reddit
@matcha_anil What are the Reddit subs you like best for AI?

@matcha_anil Who are your favourite AI influencers?

@mariamyusuf_ Thanks for sharing
informed news
Lucky for me, our editorial team at informed sifts through the noise every day and curates news so I don't have to.

I am active on Twitter, Facebook groups, and newsletters.
Facebook groups are really underrated tbh.
And, I think we need to consume content from two sources. AI curators and AI experts.
For example:
AI-zing News with Ava is a daily newsletter; you get the latest news and pool tools from her. (AI curator)
And, Ethan Mollick is an AI expert.
This can give insights on both ends of the spectrum and let us know where we stand.
These are some sources.
1. https://www.facebook.com/groups/...
2. https://www.thestatuscode.co/ (I'm a contributor here)
3. https://ava.beehiiv.com/
4. https://twitter.com/daniel_nguyenx
and more.. Let me know if I should make a list :p
AI is everywhere. I primarily stay up-to-date on the topic through Twitter and Product Hunt itself.
It can be overwhelming with the abundance of information and AI products to consume, learn from, and draw inspiration from. Whenever I encounter an AI product or AI integration in an existing product, I attempt to determine its necessity, as that is currently the main thing I am learning from AI.

I stay updated by reading articles, attending conferences, and following industry leaders on social media. It's exciting to see how fast-paced the field is and how quickly things are changing, so staying informed is crucial. I also like to engage with online communities focused on the interesting topics to learn from others and share my own insights. It's essential to keep an open mind and embrace lifelong learning to stay up to date in the age of AI.
For me:
1: Follow relevant news sources:
2: Read research papers and journals
3: Social Media
4: Blogs
Ask ChatGTP what's new ;)

I have 3 primary sources:
- Facebook groups: there are a lot of Facebook groups that engage about AI, and offer a lot of insights
- LinkedIn: mainly for industry specific application. As a designer I found a lot of designer sharing bieche resources
- Google: I’m a contributor for one of the biggest business magazines in Italy, and I write about AI applications, so I do a lot of research on a daily basis, and Google is my friend for this

@marco_ceruti for me AI Library with semantic search and 1000+ AI tools
EmbedAI
@marco_ceruti Awesome, thanks for sharing your insights. Do you have a list of facebook groups with good content to subscribe to ?
MeetGeek
@matcha_anil I’m part of probably 15-20 groups that mainly target LTD (lifetime deals) as a core concepts. Those groups usually are really open to discussion and a lot of people constantly shares insights, new tools, and articles. I don’t want to spam, so I won’t name them here, but just search for “LTD” or “Lifetime deals” on Facebook, and join groups with 3k+ members. You’ll enter the ecosystem.
What I’ve noticed is that groups that targets AI usually talk about it in a consumer way, while groups dedicated to martech and SaaS are way more deep and technicals

@yusupovphygital oh right, AI library is an amazing tool!
Is “1000+ AI tools” another library?
MeetGeek
@yusupovphygital gotcha. I though you were talking about something calle “1000+ AI tools”. By the way, while searching for this non-existent “1000+ AI tools” I’ve found aicyclopedia.com which seems similar to AI library. Nice addition to my sources!
In my opinion, to keep our self updated in this era, we've to follow industry leaders and experts, attend conferences and workshops, read research papers, and keep up with the latest news and trends in the field.

@shaur_ul_asar Any industry leaders you are currently following?
@matcha_anil I'm currently following Satya Nadella, the CEO of Microsoft, who has played a key role in transforming the company's culture and driving innovation.
How about you? Are there any industry leaders that you find inspiring or interesting to follow?
EmbedAI
@shaur_ul_asar I am following few openai researchers in Google
Simple:
1. Google news
2. Linkedin
3. Twitter
I have a couple of good friends and my gf keeps me up to date on the most relevant advancements

My opinion: You don't have to try to grab all the information. I think it's enough to be subscribed to a few narrower channels that broadcast the information you need specifically for your work or interests.
EmbedAI
@viktor_shpudeiko Definitely need to narrow down to remove the noise. What are the top channels based on your experience
Skinive AI: Skin Scanner, health checkup
@matcha_anil Of course, these are Producthunt, as well as Twitter, Facebook and Telegram channels

I am loving this discussion. My workflow is also similar in terms of consumption of information (Twitter, PH, Discord, Reddit) but I like to be able to go back to things I have liked.
There is just so much happening, that even if we read a lot, we will lose track of interesting information we came across. So I put together a notion document where I log everything interesting I came across for myself and others. Get it here- https://pratiksolocl.gumroad.com... (I list communities, events, and research papers also on this- so a good tool from a builders perspective too)
Most of us do not need as much information. Once a week is just about right to stay updated. That is what I aim to do with https://discoveryunlocked.substa... (we have 800+ subs so far and ship every Friday).
Sub to a ton of AI newsletters haha
