Check out this beautiful code the AI vibecoded for counting telegram replies to channel posts

— Ofc it’s horribly, completely wrong, not even close

Really is shocking how EVERY SINGLE PIECE OF TELEGRAM BOT CODE that the AI made, had to be completely rewritten from scratch, to something totally different, to make it actually work

Testament to how bad the AIs are?

Testament to how bad the telegram API libraries are?

— Both

It is HORRIBLE how much the telegram libraries silently fail, instead of e.g. fail-fast style of immediately throwing errors when something is done wrong

And ofc it makes zero sense for platform library users to fix these numous problems, because then these problems form a competitive moat from competing bot writers

Incentives-wise, some things can only be fixed by the platform CREATORS themselves

Shame on you platform creators, for the garbage willingly you create

But do they feel shame?

Ofc not.

Bizarrely ~50% of platforms seem to be made by people who DO have an extreme sense of pride in making a good platform — E.g. lots of Linux things,

While ~50% of platform craetors DO NOT CARE and seem to love to make a HORRIBLE platform and then watching everyone to figure it out and begging for their help to fix it — E.g. Ethereum, Windows

Some losers really do seem to love the attention they get from monopolizing an area and then doing everything horribly,

Enjoying watching everyone beg them to fix it

Shame on you losers that intentionally make everything broken

Dynamics of platforms

Anyway — the poster bot now correctly no longer deletes messages that got replies within the first 10m after posting

Is a bit entertaining to watch the logs of posts from around the internet which the bot flags as obscene

🚨🚨”Fact Checks” have begun arriving on telegram

And apparently regular people have no ability to contribute to them

Telegram’s new “fact-checks” are country-specific because ofc “facts” are country-specific

Would love if the bot API enabled you to add notes to other people’s comments, e.g. for

- Displaying votes/points on the comment

- Adding tags to comments, e.g. tagging users by what type of person the bot thinks they are

- Adding useful links to comments, e.g. auto-adding a mirror link, or auto-downloading videos, and attaching that to the person’s comment

All kinds of ways such a bot API ability could be useful, without cluttering the comments with a bunch of extra messages

But nope… this new thing is just for control by whatever secret powers that be…

VIDEO: 🇲🇽 Shops, restaurants vandalized in Mexico City anti-gentrification protest

Hundreds turned out in the Colonia Roma neighborhood to denounce rising housing prices and the displacement of long-time Mexican residents from areas increasingly populated by foreigners

Rioters in Mexico City on Friday destroy the outsides of businesses to protest gentrification.

— Recall that a huge percentage of tech workers still working remotely, and looks like they may never go back to the office

Already been seeing it myself since ~2011, when I started doing it

“Digital nomads” on their way to ruling the third world?

Soft-skills in-person workers screwed?
