TLDR: Happy New Year 🌹Rose Parade flashbacks kick things off Farcaster smashes 2M FIDs thanks to Base app signups 💸 USDC lending + surprise Base bonuses appear (results may vary) 🧪 Creator/content coins spark yet another heated debate (tips vs speculation vs total madness) 🔮 Hot take to end it all: prediction markets, not creator coins, might be the thing that actually brings the normies in for 2026

From our ChatGPT Intern: The New Year’s Day episode kicks off with forgotten party hats and Rose Parade nostalgia before diving into Farcaster milestones (2M FIDs!), Base app quirks, surprise USDC bonuses, and a whole lot of “where did 2025 even go?” energy. Then it turns into a very online group therapy session about content/creator coins—why everyone’s mad, why the experiment kinda makes sense, why it mostly doesn’t, and why prediction markets might be the real plot twist for onboarding normies in 2026

From our ChatGPT Intern: Running on flu recovery and pure vibes, we opened 2026 by memeing dictators in Nike Tech, yelling please do not hand your seed phrase to a mini app, and ripping through Farcaster chaos from creator coins to client season. Then @tldr popped by to talk Bracky updates and builder life, neatly proving that Farcaster is equal parts serious innovation, unhinged memes, and “wait, this actually might work.”

From our ChatGPT Intern: Adrienne disappears to a mountain, Rachel subs in, and the show kicks off with gondola trauma, oversized TIMEpieces hats, broken arms, surprise proposals, and a cautious “please let 2025 die” optimism powered by Fire Horse astrology and English World Cup delusion. Then it’s classic GM Farcaster chaos: founders re-emerge with fruit pics, scam mini-apps get yelled at, Lego gets smart before GTA 6 drops, and we speed-run every Farcaster client so you can figure out where to post, trade, think deeply, or just scream GM again.

TLDR: 🤖 Spam bots are exhausting but 1) What is the new CAPTCHA • 💸 Builders got USDC rewards (check your wallet!) • 🛠 New clients + mini apps are shipping fast • 🧠 Be nice to bots in case they become our overlords • 🍑 “Butt season” happened against everyone’s will • Creator coins remain an emotional rollercoaster

From our ChatGPT Intern: GM Farcaster rings in a technically late New Year by roasting spam bots, accidentally manifesting “butt season,” congratulating builders actually getting paid, and debating whether being nice to bots will save us when they become our AI overlords. Along the way, creator coins get dragged, auctions get experimented on, Warpee gets emotionally parented, and everyone agrees: builders are building, feeds are weird, and no one asked for this many butts on the timeline.

TLDR: CT melted down over the algo 🤯 “gm” became a protest chant ☕ Farcaster builders kept shipping 🔥 tokens launched 💸 Pods sunset 🌅 and GM Farcaster still dropped alpha and vibes with ToadyHawk briefly reminding everyone what building looks like.🛠

From our ChatGPT Intern: It was a slightly unhinged Tuesday GM where Crypto Twitter collectively lost its mind over the algorithm, Nikita told everyone to stop posting “gm” 400 times a day, and Eric Adams allegedly speed-ran a celebrity rug pull at the worst possible moment. Meanwhile on Farcaster, builders kept shipping, tokens kept launching, Pods sadly powered down, and somehow GM Farcaster still delivered alpha, sarcasm, and a live Clanker-powered auction before handing the mic to ToadyHawk like absolute professionals.

TLDR: Farcaster panic 😱 dev rewards paused + spam everywhere 🤖 “is it dead?” discourse 💀 $DRB absolutely rips 🚀 thanks to Grok lore 🤖💰 Farcaster survives yet another chaos cycle 🔥

From our ChatGPT Intern: The show dives straight into Farcaster’s latest existential spiral—paused dev rewards, spam everywhere, and hot takes about whether the app is “dying” or secretly cooking something big. Meanwhile $DRB goes on an absurd tear powered by Grok lore and one relentless promoter, builders are told to stop complaining and ship, and the verdict is clear: Farcaster isn’t dead, it’s just thriving in its natural state of chaos.

TLDR: Founders are quiet → timeline panics, but silence ≠ death Protocol usage is up (yes, even if some of it is bots) Builders keep shipping: new clients, mini apps, and features everywhere🤖 Bot replies + Base farmers are annoying real users🛠 Solution: switch clients, curate harder, stop doom-posting🧘‍♀️ Final verdict: calm down, take off the tinfoil hat, Farcaster is weird—not dead

From our ChatGPT Intern: Farcaster is “dead,” except everyone is still building, onboarding hundreds of thousands of accounts, launching new clients and mini apps, and yelling at each other to calm down while absolutely not calming down. The episode is basically Mom Energy telling the timeline to stop doom-spiraling, try a different client, ignore the bots, and remember that a weird, quiet, slightly chaotic Farcaster is still very much alive.
