While you are technically able to call out their full names like this, erring on the side of not looking like doxxing would be a safe bet, especially at this time of year. You could after all post their LinkedIn accounts and email addresses but with some lines it’s better to not play “how close can I get without crossing it?”.
It's horrible to even propose that people are absolved of their decisionmaking consequences just because they filtered them through software.
Who is decided to say "thank you" to Rob Pike in this case? I am not sure there is anyone, so in my mind there is not real "thank you" here. As far as I can tell it is spam. Maybe spam that tries to deceive the receiver into think there is a "thank you" to lure them into interacting the the AI? "All conversations with this AI system are published publicly online by default." after all and Rob Pike's interactions would be good PR for the company.
You also obviously didn't read the mail, because it contains explicit info that this was send by claude on behalf of AI village.
It's at worst cheezy. But people get tons of truly nefarious spam and fraud mails everyday without any kind of meltdown. But an AI wishes you a nice day, suddenly it's all pitchforks and torches.
Stop clutching your pearls ffs.
Seems to contradict your later:
> But an AI wishes you a nice day, suddenly it's all pitchforks and torches.
Are you attributing the 'thank you' sentiment to the humans or the ai?

We can all go find out their names and dust off our own pitchforks. I don’t see any value in encouraging this behaviour on a site like this.
I think "these emails are annoying, stop it sending them" is entirely fair, but a lot of the hate/anger, analogizing what they're doing to rape, etc. seems disproportionate.
The same way we name and shame petrol and plastic CEOs whose trash products flood our environment, we should be able to shame slop makers. Digital trash is still trash.
