Bluesky CEO Jay Graber emphasized the importance of critical thinking and developing a generalist skillset for the AI era.

Wow, she's immediately less of a turd than the rest of the tech sector.
I like her. I hope she remains human.
This is kinda like saying, "for general health purposes, giving the Little Gremlin Man Who Shoots People's Kneecaps Off a gun is not recommended"
Oh! I had assumed Jay Graber was a male. :)
Actually kinda based.
Funny, people with generalist skill sets are currently the ones who can't get a job
Hey, Bluesky peeps! It’s our Bluesky Mother Monster being the brilliant, amazing person that she is!! 🤩
A generalist skillset is a fantastic resource to possess and a terrible resource to sell in the labor market.
And unfortunately, while AI can make people feel more knowledgeable and capable about virtually any topic or subject, it requires prior expertise to discern whether AI output is correct.
What a trailblazer 👏🏽
I suppose protecting one's independence takes conscious and constant effort - a present continuous effort.
Apparently, the CEO outsourced its gender to AI.
Bluesky fully outsourced its liberal brain to AI
So evident !
Duh.
Ppl take the easy way out. I saw my optometrist use AI today to re-write his notes on my visit. WTF.
Damn right!
On target. I do not depend on AI to do my thinking or research. It is simply one tool to use in researching!!
A social media platform made for soft heads ‘s ceo says something endorsing critical thinking
Well said 💯
Well since I am not an idiot I wasn’t going to? Never used ai without my knowledge anyway…
🔥
Interdisciplinary studies are increasingly essential, and it's only going to get more important, at least in my opinion.
That’s a great point. Many people outsource their critical thinking to political mobs and become unable to discern reality from fiction. Case in point, the so called media has a pile on mentality with the same shrill talking points.
Artificial intelligence is automatic stupidity.
Amada!🤗 Tão jovem, tão poderosa!
AI will be part of the profit equation, and to maximize that profit AI will be antithetical to critical thinking. Just as current social media algorithms bring out the worst in most people.
you built your business on AI I take out your AI there goes your business
that's right. make AI do all the hard work that it took us millions of years to do.
I agree with her. But in my mind wouldn''t you just say thinking.... Isn't critical thinking the same thing. I dunno but I do have my GED... :)
AI Bsky 📌
Yes! Critical thinking is one third of what we teach in English Composition, and the other 2 are critical reading and critical writing. As in questioning the frame or premise of an argument. Otherwise you sit on the sidelines with the flat earth club, no progress possible.
Fully outsource? With LLMs available to the general public, which "learn" from dreck floating around the Internet, most of which is at best wrong and at worst malevolent, one ought not outsource any thinking, much less critical thinking, to "Artificial so-called Intelligence."
True dat
AGREED 💙
She ugly
Her and Meredith Whittaker two voices of reason in a sea of delusional charlatans
Let's hope this social media is not as controlled by capital as X was
But what if I don't want to think anymore?
I'm old and grumpy.
At least, that's what my AI porn star girlfriend told me.
I will outsource myself to Jay Graber 😄
Reporting very concerning post by this user Block--- solodevelping this poster made very disturbing comments about 2nd amendment in relation to the attack in Manhattan. Needs to be removed from bluesky with all due haste.
WE NEED TO START TEACHING FOLKS HOW TO CRITICALLY THINK…….THAT IS WHY WE ARE IN THE MESS WE ARE IN……TOO MANY GULLIBLE PEOPLE COASTING ON DOING THEIR HOMEWORK
😮! Tho not clear AI will do worse 😄
AI is a marketing scam. It's total 💩💩💩,,!
Jay impresses me once again. Happy to see someone in a position of influence who is clearly stating that AI should be used as a reference and not as a replacement. Love this.
❤️
Just happy to have such a smart and beautiful CEO for @bsky.app @jay.bsky.team
“Tech leader speaks common sense”
Employers tend to disrespect degrees that hone critical thinking skills and other generalist skills.
well duh. thank god for business insider.
Outsource? If that’s what you call thinking it’s already been outsourced.
abdicating the thinking portion seems like a very bad idea - homo sapiens might need to be renamed - homo dormiens
Without thinking, you're basically Baldrick: www.youtube.com/results?sear...
Share your videos with friends, family, and the world
I think @jay.bsky.team is right. We must not forget how to think critically for ourselves. Unfortunately, the environmental aspect wasn't properly addressed. How much energy could be saved if AI were truly used as an aid and not just to create random images.
Don't be a dog in the manger🫠 I think it's possible given the civilizationl significance of the idea & the low probability of its independent implementation. The Universe knows who generated it, but those who were able to implement it deserve special recognition! Thought is a collective interaction.
At this point I judge everyone who is still a twitter user. I literally think all of you who insist on remaining there are inferior life forms compared to me.
Critical thinking…..From Democrats?
Butlerian Jihad now!
Well given that LLMs or any other kind of ML model don’t actually “think”, I think we can disregard this as more ill informed buzzword bingo.
A real "no shit sherlock" statement.
how could I, they don't think too well?
Heresy! Heretic!
People act like I'm crazy for not doing this... Also ChatGPT is the only generative AI I've used briefly and it has done nothing but to hallucinate.
How about "you shouldn't outsource your thinking at all, especially not to the Bullshit Machines"?
Anyone who has followed GPS onto a dangerous pathway should be able to tell you this as well.
I wish the Bluesky CEO would help me in my fight against META and MAGA.
Fair play to her, she's spot on, but I've seen this movie before.... once she gets us all monetised we'll all be lurching to the right
📌
Shouldn't use ai at all.
This is ironic given that the CTO is a vibe coder who's all in on gen AI.
Folks are missing the point here I think; it's not an argument against offloading cognitive tasks, it's an argument against offloading ALL cognitive tasks. Offloading some cognitive tasks can free up time to pursue higher order cognitive tasks (which would exercise that critical thinking muscle)
Don’t really care about all that guff! All she needs to do is get together with Apple & let iOS users enable adult content without having to go through the bsky website which can’t be done with any iOS device, but it’s apparently fine for Android devices.
Why is her forehead so big?
… same problem with NPR…
Said the same thing about Gutenberg when he invented the printing press…

Makes for good listening,with regards to AI....Dangerous waters we tread.
"AI" skillset...my ass.
"AI" is going to put most everyone out of a job, which will set off a revolution. When people can't get a job, and have to choose between starvation and homelessness, the guns will come out. You'd better have jobs for everyone before pursuing "AI" skills.
Kind of like putting plastic bags in the produce section of the grocery store and then guilt-tripping people into not using them. I have a better idea - don't make the plastic bags in the first place.
AI is an embarrassing environmental disaster. F AI.
Any era.
Why not introduce sort of a quality label („ManMade“ e.g.), so the consumer can decide if he wants to pay for a product or service that replaces human labour with AI and therefore adds to the huge masses of unemployed people that we have to expect.

It is mostly a feeling that I have had for years about overly logic people and overly logic society and science, But no one can say it better than Seth (Jane Roberts) so I give you three quotes fro…
I had a hunch Bluesky was going to go the way of Twitter, and here's more proof of that
She is right. It’s a tool not a mind.
I don't think, therefore AI am.
I'm amazed that people need to be told this?
This pic says it all
Well said!
Many Americans outsourced their thinking years ago.
You’re doing yourself a disservice if you outsource your learning. The things you learn may turn out to be less relevant in the future- but the skill to push past the discomfort and frustration of learning will ALWAYS be useful. There’s no shortcut.
This is so refreshing to see - YES!
Based
ai art is so amazing 😍
Agreed it should just be a tool or for tips but the composer = 🧠
These skills allow for collaborative work while maintaining control and creativity. More effective work. A great horizon. 🦁🦁❤️
A quick move
💯 true. AI should aid us not replace us if people insist on expanding it.
idc
I'M tryin,' I really am ... but ... I got questions ... lots and lotsa questions. Did I mention I used to be, as a young child, an encyclopedia junkie ... ?
It's a general lack of critical thinking that has convinced millions of people (many of whom should really know better) that an LLM-based predictive text generator represents some kind of intelligent thinking machine in the first place.
very right
I fully outsourced my thinking to a porn website. Yeah, don't do that.
I use AI a lot but never to do my work for me. It helps me learn and debug. And lots of times its forgetful and will recommend the same debug strategy several times. Its really not ready to replace us!
A generalist skillset isn't marketable. Ai will direct our evolution towards a smaller brain. Resist and reject all Ai. It needs to be protested against!!
Can't read the article have to join business insider, I'd like to read the whole artcle...
I think most of us in our day-to-day life have interacted with people who seem to lack general critical thinking skills. We know how those interactions feel, let's make sure we keep thinking.
Grok wrote his statement.
Rien à faire de vos posts intrusifs !!!!!!!
Can you think critically about how to have my timeline refresh but keep my place. It is what keeps me from being a daily user and why I’m going back to Twitter. 100% the reason.
breaking news: fork found in kitchen
How could you possibly outsource all your thinking to AI - what on earth does it even actually mean?
i wouldn't outsource anything to AI....
How to develop critical thinking in regard to #climate science and divest from #fossil death economy globally? The world economy depends on #nature and stable #water and #carbon cycles not on AI, how to look deeper at such questions without bias?
I’m not using ai ever! It will never take us over! In fact its just a baby. Babies don’t know how to do stuff like this.
I love how we keep treating the development of AI as making a toy, or low level employee replacement, rather than potentially creating a new form of life
That stuff would never turn on us once it becomes self aware, he said, extremely sarcastically
Truly the anti Elon Musk she is.
People have been "fully outsourcing their thinking" long before AI came around.
Good advice. Always control your own intellectual property.
She is very much correct!
Seriously lazy people are not listening.
Pretty sure that's a man pretending to be a women
I don't know if it's supposed to be authentic intelligence automatic intelligence omnificial intelligentsia where is it going artificial intercourse what the hell that's not even logarithms and bank accounts or do not shake this account yet
Off-topic. Hope Bluesky will remove the annoying blue round Write icon at the lower right corner of the homepage Bsky.app, or make it not stick there. (I use a web browser on Android.)
Social media as it should be. Find your community among millions of users, unleash your creativity, and have some fun again.
Ask the question of your chosen AI "do you hallucinate?" Chatgpt just said, yeh bro - Im programmed to sound authoritive. And my detailed knowledge only reaches to 2024. Good to know who you are 'talking' to
this “A.i.” is getting to much
Critical thinking in this country was pitiful before any AI.
That's good
Handing your critical thinking over to "AI" results in "AS" artificial stupidity! Only the stupid would do such a thing! Stupid is as stupid does!🤪
Chat GPT says you’re wrong!!!!
Shouldn't outsource ANYTHING to it, not to genslop anyway.
AI was first implemented by Sperry Univac 1984 for North West Airlines. Ticket Advisor. AI will move into components.
You'd think this would be obvious and common sense and yet we see the whole of society champing at the bit to outsource their thinking.
AI is basically all that junk & lies on the Internet served up as fact Garbage in Garbage out
We should start with people first
Oh good. Finally my liberal arts degree will come in handy. With all respect- I very much appreciate this platform- when were these things not key?
She’s correct! Unfortunately? Her audience on the left lacks Critical Thinking Skills!!
the only skills you meatbags need are building data centers and powerplants for ME!!!!!
My management will make rough drafts but they have taken to having AI do as much for them as they can. And you can tell. Nothing they email or “write” sounds like how they actually talk. It’s easy to identify when they send a response they wrote, vs something generated or heavily edited by an AI.
💙 Completely agree. This isn’t just about AI, it’s about reclaiming our ability to think clearly in a world flooded with manipulation. Pathological Abuse thrives when we stop questioning, stop noticing, stop naming. Critical thinking is how we fight back. #NameIt #SurvivorMusic #PathologicalAbuse
AI definitely has potential, just don't use it to steal from others art, in the medical field like therapy, & don't allow it to advance global warming (GenAI). We're smart, we can make this work where it doesn't harm ANYONE nor ANYTHING. Otherwise, to hell with it. It does more harm than good.
💯
My critical thinking tells me that AGI is general by the definition, so it doesn't matter what skills would you have. It can always replace you. Every CEO telling about "another tool" either didn't read the definition or bet on the AI progress stopping at today's state.
