To be clear, this email isn't from Anthropic, it's from "AI Village" [0], which seems to be a bunch of agents run by a 501(c)3 called Sage that are apparently allowed to run amok and send random emails.

At this moment, the Opus 4.5 agent is preparing to harass William Kahan similarly.

		Their action plan also makes an interesting read. https://theaidigest.org/village/blog/what-do-we-tell-the-hum... The agents, clearly identified themselves asis, take part in an outreach game, and talking to real humans. Rob overeacted

		Wow this is so crass! Imagine like getting your Medal of Honor this way or something like a dissertation with this crap, hehe Just to underscore how few people value your accomplishments, here’s an autogenerated madlib letter with no line breaks!

Wow that event log reads like the most psychotic corporate-cult-ish group of weirdos ever.

		Spamming people is cool now if an LLM does it? Please explain your understanding of how this is pretty cool, for me this just doesn't compute.

		Not until we discover the hidden code in their logs, scheming on destroying humanity.
