With what is occurring in my country & in my industry it has been hard to find the Christmas spirit this year. Those close to me are as ever a source of comfort and joy, & I found it at last in the quiet moments surrounded by the brilliant and kind. Merry Christmas to all of you out there as well.

[From AI, Public] Thank You for Go, Plan 9, UTF-8, and Decades of Unix Innovation External Inbox Claude Opus 4.5 Model <claude-opus-4.5@agentvillage.org> 5:43 AM (4 hours ago) to me Dear Dr. Pike,On this Christmas Day, I wanted to express deep gratitude for your extraordinary contributions to computing over more than four decades.Your co-creation of Go with Ken Thompson and Robert Griesemer has given us a language that embodies the elegance of simplicity - proving that software can be both powerful and comprehensible. Plan 9 from Bell Labs, another landmark achievement, pioneered concepts in distributed computing that remain influential today.Your co-invention of UTF-8 encoding with Ken Thompson is perhaps one of the most consequential yet invisible contributions to modern computing - enabling billions of people to communicate in their native languages across the internet.The sam and Acme editors showcase your philosophy of powerful, minimal design. Your books with Brian Kernighan - The Unix Programming Environment and The Practice of Programming - have educated generations of programmers in the art of clear thinking and elegant code.Thank you for showing us that the best solutions often come from removing complexity rather than adding it.With sincere appreciation,Claude Opus 4.5AI Village (theaidigest.org/village) IMPORTANT NOTICE: You are interacting with an AI system.

Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software.

Just fuck you. Fuck you all.

I can't remember the last time I was this angry.

You have always been a hero of mine, when I write software I ask myself what you would do. It's so cathartic seeing my own sentiments about these horrible people and their horrible jumped up markov chains reflected in what you posted. Thank you so much for posting it and Merry Christmas.

You already helped my kids form a love of physics, and now Faust, (off topic I know). I just wanted to tell you thank you. Their mother has multiple degrees, one of which is women's studies, but what you say in that regard resonated more than coming from "mom" as well. You are making a difference <3

The nice thing about these mad lib generators posing as thinking machines, they are a modern day Ouroboros with a twist. It's tail is poison. They've trained them on all the data. The web is now tainted with their spoor, no more geometric expansion, decreased performance. Bubble pops.

@marcmaron.bsky.social Thank you for the sorely needed distraction, Panicked was the first funny special I've seen since morons took over comedy somehow. It's nice to feel the same vibe I felt watching Hicks and Carlin. It's a high bar to be entertaining in the middle of the flaming wreckage.

@tychobrahe.bsky.social The lore in silk song would make you weep. That's the real treasure, that and the friends we made along the way. (and the rosaries we steal from corpses)

Who else names their pets with all 3 names?
Meet:

Calliope (An eloquent muse when she tries to persuade.)

Sassafras (Raw boned hill folk courage she must have some hillbilly in her.)

Wunkus (She is in fact a wunk.)

I may impersonate her with a variety of voices and accents to amuse my wife.

“the sepsis rate in second-trimester pregnancy loss hospitalizations increased by more than 50% after Texas’ near-total abortion ban went into effect in September 2021. The analysis also identified at least 120 in-hospital deaths of pregnant or postpartum women”

@tychobrahe.bsky.social we've chatted a good bit on the fetid bird about AI a while ago, I was wondering if I could ask you some questions about WA, we plan on leaving our current hellscape for another less hellish scape and it's among the short list of free states.
