The big idea
On any topic, there are real PhDs and journalists posting their work. AI can help you find their handles — and following them upgrades your feed permanently.
Some examples
- Ask ChatGPT for 'top 10 climate scientists active on Bluesky.'
- Verify each handle independently — AI can mix in fakes.
- Look for university affiliations in their bio.
- Following 5 experts beats 50 random influencers.
