From the Wikipedia article on Telegram:

"In 2026, Telegram began to include generative AI features in its app, which use open-source models running in Telegram's confidential compute network, Cocoon."

Go to Cocoon's website (cocoon.org) and it says:

• GPU owners mine TON [I guess that's a cryptocurrency] by powering the network
• App developers plug into low-cost AI compute [it sounds odd to me that 'compute' is now being used as a noun]
• Users enjoy AI with full privacy and confidentiality ['enjoy' is debatable]
• Telegram fuels demand and hype for Cocoon

Yuck.

@james I keep trying to tell people that Telegram is not the app they think it is
@donthatedontkill The more I look at it the worse it seems.
I'm sorry to say I fell for its marketing back in 2020. Now I just use Delta Chat and Signal for everything.
@james Signal is the way to go in my opinion. And hey live and learn as they say!
