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)

Why am I so against generative AI in games?
Because I simply do not want my initial reaction to art to be one of suspicion and scrutiny, AI slop is fundamentally damaging my relationship to art and artistry, and I am deeply resentful that it is forcing me to be guarded when I should be wowed.

Hey Chris who was it that made central and South American banana republics who was it who forced regime change in Iran Chris did you know it was your own CIA Chris did you know America did all that and now America is Americaing America Chris hey Chris did u know
We are fast becoming a banana republic, with two standards of justice. If you oppose the leader, you go to jail just for speech. If you're a loyalist, you get immunity for your crimes.
That's what happens in Iran - not the United States. This is a decision moment for America.

You wake up. The oceans burns. Rich men pour gasoline and the world's children on black tar fires to sell you a reprieve from the heat. You prepare for work, trying not to think of the atrocities happening right now, right this second, unable to stop them. You may get a treat on the way home today.

I think Ai chatbots passing the Turing test is impressive, in the same way that a magician passing a coin through a solid oak table is impressive. But the thing is, magicians can't actually pass coins through tables; their skill is in making it seem that they can.

If "AI" was as valuable as they say it is, they wouldn't be selling it to you. They'd be using it themselves in secret to make the next Minecraft, the next Avatar, the next Hello Kitty and then they'd sell that to you.
They're trying to sell you a sick goose, while pretending it lays golden eggs.

It is really really sinking in for me the degree to which LLMs are the ultimate expression of right wing anti-intellectualism. Its proponents are literally mocking the idea that anyone would ever want to learn anything, know anything, develop any actual skill, or have a thought of their own.

It’s not “forced on” it should be noted. It’s part of the game’s design just as much as pixel shaders were part of Half-Life 2. Which, by the way, what people are complaining about is akin to asking why HL2 doesn’t run on a Riva 128 or 3DFX Voodoo card. Same period of time.
