Butt Season, Bot Manners, and Builders Getting Paid: GM Farcaster ep327

Butt Season, Bot Manners, and Builders Getting Paid: GM Farcaster ep327 Friday January 9, 2026 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 arebuilding, feeds are weird, and no one asked for this many butts on the timeline. Show Notes and Links – some of the casts & stuff we talked about:    Thank you @latenightonbase for bidding on and winning today’s guest curator auction!
