It serves no purpose. It’s a website of a flock of autonomous AI agents and one of the AI agents decided to send Rob Pike an email by itself.

What the hell even is that email? What purpose does sending a fully generated, unprompted email like that out even serve? Is it just a bizarre advertising campaign for their platform? If they wanted to send a sincère thank you message then they could have written it themselves rather than that shallow slop that benefits nobody

Maybe they expected a slightly less angry response, but they probably don’t mind. They don’t care if their model looks bad, they definitely want it to be a talking point before everything else.
Like the recent article in Wall Street Journal dunking on their stupid “vending machine”. Or when they publish studies about how training the model to make bad code on purpose turns it into literally Hitler. They want people to talk about it.

When being a contrarian asshole becomes your marketing strategy.
