Cloudflare just published a vibe coded blog post claiming they implemented Matrix on cloudflare workers. They didn't, their post and README is AI generated and the code doesn't do any of the core parts of matrix that make it secure and interoperable. Instead it's littered with 'TODO: Check authorisation' and similar

RE: tech.lgbt/@JadedBlueEyes/11596

they edited the clearly LLM-generated-and-human-unread readme to “clarify” that by production-ready matrix server by Cloudflare they meant a proof-of-concept matrix server not endorsed for production use by Cloudflare. They removed all the lines like “// TODO: implement authentication” from the source code without implementing anything

a colorized git diff:

old text in red: A production-grade Matrix home server implementation blablabla Cloudflare 

new text in green: this is a proof of concept Matrix home server implementation blablabla Cloudflare not endorsed

RE: tech.lgbt/@JadedBlueEyes/11596

Cloudflare, who certainly has enough resources to *not* pull this kind of bullshit, wastes peoples' time and disrespects people actually working on decentralized networking tech by acting like a pile of vibe coded slop running on top of their proprietary infrastructure is a legit implementation of a protocol.

Deeply insulting. Props to @JadedBlueEyesJade for calling this out (and for actually doing real implementation work on Matrix tech).
