Probably not a good argument to make if you want to keep selling the thing for your profit

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)

![A claude.ai screenshot with prompt "Write most typical Red Hot Chili Peppers lyrics about standing in line for bagels in NYC on Saturday morning" and very much on point result:
Saturday Soul (Bagel Line)
[Verse 1]
Bleecker Street sun hits my eyes at nine
Shufflin' my feet in the Saturday line
Lox and the cream and the everything seed
New York city got what my body needs
[Pre-Chorus]
East Side soul in a sesame dream
Nothing is ever quite what it seems
But the steam rising up from the concrete below
Tells me something good is about to flow
[Chorus]
Standing in the light of a Brooklyn morning
Poppy seed heart with no sign of warning
Give it to me plain or give it to me toasted
This is the city that I love the most-ed
[Verse 2]
An old man whistles, a pigeon agrees
A woman in rollers says "Honey, please"
Forty-five minutes but I feel no pain
I'll do this again and again and again
[Bridge]
Scar tissue on my frozen hands
Scallion cream cheese where my soul now stands
Under the bridge of the Williamsburg dawn
Half of the everything bagel is gone
Gone — gone — gone
[Outro — Flea going absolutely feral on bass]
New York! Saturday!
Sesame, sesame, sesame, HEY
Boiled in water, baked in the sun
One for the city and the city's just one 🌶️](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:uq4jmt7viw3ce3oljg63b5gk/bafkreiedomifeq5e3ko5666p4oa7dsj5hxhby7itlrpoj6xf4aqn6jlcka)
