I can't speak for the others but Two Minute Papers' general format oozes hype. I realize that he tends to recap on exciting topics, but he also sometimes "falls for" research that won't actually pan out for practical reasons. He also tends to cover things in an intensely over-optimistic way ("WOW! WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE" on literally every video...) that would have you think every single subject is an absolute major breakthrough when the reality is that many of them simply produced cool-looking demos that look good in a youtube thumbnail. Sorry if that's too harsh. The channel isn't all bad. The title of the channel is up front about being a quick synopsis that you can watch from time to time to keep up with the latest updates. That's still useful for many people. But it probably won't work as a good _filter_ for what will and will not be quickly forgotten. In fairness (again), that's a _very_ difficult challenge to solve. It is however the premise of the Ask HN.

  I watch him for a long time and he is just right. The progress on so many fields is fast. And a ton is already available to use. All the nerfs, most of Nvidia topics, etc. Or all the character animation stuff, those things are in games and in the industry. And even the few which show the direction make it very obvious were the road is going in the next 5-10 years. I'm honestly surprised that you think he is naive/to hyped. Alone the Nvidia ml denoiser and real time ray tracing is basically redefining graphs. We are in the middle of all of it.

Definitely Two minute papers. I'm not a huge fan of Matt wolf because he shills pretty hard for Leonard AI (a stable diffusion SaaS) without being upfront about the fact that he's very likely commissioned by them. It makes me call into question his objectivity.
