Ars Technica · OpenAI launches Operator, an AI agent that can operate your computerBy Benj Edwards

When I recently published a post on Mastodon, it had already been reposted 6 times within 2 minutes. Out of curiosity, I visited the profiles and noticed that at least one of them was a bot profile: How can bots on a platform make our everyday lives easier? And what are the risks? How I can use the Mastodon API to create a bot myself? :blobcoffee:

In this article, I provide a step-by-step guide with code examples and screenshots on how to create a Mastodon bot with Python and use the API.
