# Jake Van Clief Video summaries for [Jake Van Clief](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPR4DV8qMQVs_YBa-CQZQBQ) (YouTube channel @JEVanClief, "Clief Notes"; 69.1k subscribers at capture on 2026-11-01). ## Table of contents **Span covered:** every upload YouTube listed on 2026-11-01: **92 videos**, **1 live stream** and **250 Shorts**, 343 in all. Pages run **oldest first** (chronological). Tick a box when an upload has been summarized; two are done so far (the 1962 Engelbart video and the earlier Short “What is a real Second Brain”). Titles link to a note only after it is written, so unticked wikilinks are placeholders. **How to read the dates.** YouTube shows only relative ages ("2 years ago") for older uploads, so dates before September 2026 are approximate and are shown as `~YYYY-MM`; the month is YouTube's own bucket, and for uploads more than a year old it can be off by a few months. Dates from September 2026 onward are day-level (`~YYYY-MM-DD`) but still come from relative ages, so a day or a few days can be off; only the summarized video’s date (2026-10-21) was checked against its page. The Shorts list carries no dates at all, so Shorts pages are ordered by YouTube's listing (oldest at the end of the listing, shown first here). The Shorts listing returned 250 items and may not be complete. ### Long-form videos and the live stream - [[Jake Van Clief - Videos 2022-2024]]: ~2022-11 to ~2024-11, 17 uploads - [[Jake Van Clief - Videos 2025]]: ~2025-11 to ~2025-12, 16 uploads - [[Jake Van Clief - Videos 2026 Feb-Jun]]: ~2026-02 to ~2026-06, 29 uploads - [[Jake Van Clief - Videos 2026 Jul-Sep]]: ~2026-07 to ~2026-09-02, 15 uploads - [[Jake Van Clief - Videos 2026 Oct]]: ~2026-10-02 to ~2026-10-24, 16 uploads ### Shorts (undated, 25 per page) - [[Jake Van Clief - Shorts 001-025]]: 25 Shorts - [[Jake Van Clief - Shorts 026-050]]: 25 Shorts - [[Jake Van Clief - Shorts 051-075]]: 25 Shorts - [[Jake Van Clief - Shorts 076-100]]: 25 Shorts - [[Jake Van Clief - Shorts 101-125]]: 25 Shorts - [[Jake Van Clief - Shorts 126-150]]: 25 Shorts - [[Jake Van Clief - Shorts 151-175]]: 25 Shorts - [[Jake Van Clief - Shorts 176-200]]: 25 Shorts - [[Jake Van Clief - Shorts 201-225]]: 25 Shorts - [[Jake Van Clief - Shorts 226-250]]: 25 Shorts ## Summarized so far - [x] 2026-03-09 (Short) - [[stop building Agents and start building something that lasts|stop building Agents and start building something that lasts.]] - [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/337Qc9vOxwY) - [x] 2026-07-01 (Short) - [[What is a real Second Brain]] - [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/aCtEdO4BGlY) - [x] 2026-10-21 - [[AI Has Been Developing for Centuries - Douglas Engelbarts 1962 Paper|AI Has Been Developing for Centuries: Douglas Engelbart’s 1962 Paper]] (38:11) - [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2aUUAi4DI0k) Related: [[Jake Van Clief]] (the existing channel index) · [[Doug Engelbart]]
