I just tried to find AI starter packs on BlueSky and confirmed that BlueSky is openly hostile to AI. I understand the reasons, it's just not where I'm at. I'll try Threads and see what happens.
Bluesky has lots of artists, authors, journalists, etc... who see AI as a direct threat to human creativity. Not that the AI will replace the creativity, but that it can generate slop that looks "good enough" and doesn't demand a living wage or healthcare benefits. Many of these creative types have little trust that corporate management won't try to replace them just to save a buck.
It's still the platform where things happen. Even if I'm no longer fundraising there's still a strong, interesting investor community. When founders join an app or companies go to brag about their engineering prowess they still use X. Most people just don't care about Elon enough to leave or not join
It's still the most interesting platform for AI

I can't vouch for these, but they seem like reasonable starting points. I searched for "AI starter pack" with the quotes.

I block X and related domains at the router.
what do you recommend instead?
What's so hard about reading scientific papers?
You DO care about the actual, meaningful, quantifiable results, right, not just the vibes and trends and fashions?
Hackernews, Mastodon, Onlineplatforms of Newspapers or Magazines is what I use
