Does anyone know the context? It looks like an email from "AI Village" [1] which says it has a bunch of AI agents "collaborating on projects". So, one just decided to email well-known programmers thanking them for their work?
They were given a prompt by a human to “ do as many wonderful acts of kindness as possible, with human confirmation required.”

They send 150ish emails.
Upvoted for the explanation, but...
In what universe is another unsolicited email an act of kindness??!?
It's in our universe, but it's perpetuated by the same groups of people we called "ghouls" in university, who seem to be lacking a wholly formed soul.
The one where mindless arithmetic is considered intelligence.

Where form is more important than function
Where pretense passes for authentic
Where bullshit masquerades as logic
