From our ChatGPT Intern: Today’s episode of GM Farcaster started with matching vintage shirts and virtual backgrounds, then dove into leaderboard drama, wallet fee nerdery, and a heated debate over whether “Farcaster Token” should exist or just be a haunting echo in Chase’shead. In between spicy notifications, new branding hues, and the eternal “devs vs. users” growth debate, Adrienne fully embraced her Gen X crypto-soccer-mom persona while protecting her sanity from red dots.
