First time I’ve checked BlueSky in 12 months, and my feed is 100% political.

Is this typical, or just my feed?

I want to like BlueSky, but my feed is so dull and empty it's hard.

Where are all the creators!?

Parents on BS, how are you preparing your young children to be the first AI-native generation?

Any advice appreciated.

Text prompting GPT-4 interfaces doesn't have a monopoly on the importance of communicating effectively and asking deeply informed, specific questions.

Both capabilities have always been a hallmark of top performers.

It's a human thing, not an LLM thing.

It may be just sampling bias, but I haven't yet encountered someone who says “I love the combative nature of TT”.

And yet if you're regularly posting Twitter, presumably there have to be people who feel this way. Otherwise Twitter wouldn't be what it is.

It’s hard to tell who on Bluesky is human and who is a bot.

If you’re human, leave a comment that a bot couldn’t leave.

I only want to follow humans.

When contemplating what the future holds, just remember that where we are today would have been unfathomable to even the smartest thinkers in ancient civilization.

It's not that they were less intelligent; the compounding nature of scientific discovery and knowledge is hard for us to comprehend.

It’s official LLM mass adoption has fully begun.

My mom, a >60y/o retired grade school teacher, uses it all the time.

Real answers only: would you rather be the highest performing person on a team, or the lowest performing person on a team?

It's safe to assume you're already a rockstar contributor.
