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.

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)

I saw lot of "slop" during the .com era too but I was hopeful for the future that the web holds for the society. I don't feel that way with AI... Is it because I'm older or is there something different this time around?

It used to baffle me that after creating a massively distributed network that can with stand nuclear attack, as a society, we decided to put all of our websites on single cloud service. But after all that we've been through in the last 5 years, it no longer surprises me. #aws-outage

Soon, majority of Internet will be synthetic content (AI generated content). It will create a demand for human created content. When there is a demand, a marketplace will arise. This will create yet another divide, people who has access to that marketplace and people who doesn't.
