I always watch Youtube while eating at home to not get bored. I'd love for the content I consume to be somewhat useful or intellectually fulfilling. I'd love to hear any of your recommendations for that! Anything that skills me up in Alignment or rationality would be especially nice! I know there are some great podcasts (especially 80k), but I already listen to those in other circumstances (while walking), so I'd prefer recommendations that do significantly engage the visual part of audiovisual content.

Some of the content I've enjoyed/found useful in the past:

• High level maths divulgation (this video is the perfect example). I'm a Maths grad, and so most of the medium level stuff is not as exciting.
• Understanding Infra-Bayesianism (similar videos for other Alignment agendas very appreciated)
• Peter Millican's courses on General Philosophy and Turing (these were a fucking blast)
• Other Philosophy content, like Bonevac's course on The Analytic Tradition or Pessin's Philosophy of Mind. I've become gradually less interested in Philosophy, and that's why I don't browse Philosophy Overdose as much, but I still have a this-might-be-useful spot for Philosophy of Mind.
• jan Misali (what a weird guy)
• I used to really enjoy philosophico-political video essays (ContraPoints, PhilosophyTube, etc.), but I've mainly abhorred them (with the exceptions of Innuendo Studios and CCK Philosophy)
• Neel Nanda's Introduction to ML Theory

Come on, throw me a bone here! Otherwise I'll go back to watching EAG talks I guess
