ETH Dives, Talent Arrives: GM Farcaster ep277 Friday, August 15, 2025

From our ChatGPT Intern: Nounish Prof and Adrienne tried to rally their personal followings to rescue GM Farcaster’s Twitter from obscurity, while coping with the cruel reality that their clips are invisible on Base like they pissed off the algo gods. ETH teased an all-time high before faceplanting, Farcaster protocol fees went into Coinbase custody like responsible crypto adults, and Talent Protocol arrived just in time to watch them question whether cross-shard communication is a thing—or a trap.
