Fractured Christmas Carols

Joy for AI

(To the tune of Joy to the World)

Joy to the world, AI has come!

Get all your problems solved!

It curates all that’s done before

With all the same mistakes

With all the same mistakes

Not new, not new, regurgitates


Joy to the world, AI will reign!

It does your programming

Let every dev accept their doom

They’ll soon be unemployed

They’ll soon be unemployed

Be gone, it does it all, what you enjoyed


No more let search and research grow

AI knows everything

It comes to make its blessings flow

Answers already found

Answers already found

Answers, answers AI has found


It rules the world with facts and flaws

It cares not what is proved

The glories of ChatGPT

One wonders what’s to come

One wonders what’s to come

And wonders, and wonders, of what’s to come


Windows Contraband

(To the tune of Winter Wonderland)

Office cracked… are you listening?

Photoshop... it’s so glistening!

A beautiful sight

Our sales tonight

Hawking all our Windows contraband


What you want... can’t afford it

For less cash… we award it

Demand is still strong

As we go along

Hawking all our Windows contraband


We can crack the copyright protection

Sneak a little malware in, tee hee

Follow all the README text directions

Where you’ll find illegal product keys


Later on... we'll conspire

How to trick... a new buyer

To sell unafraid

Bootleg copies we made

Hawking all our Windows contraband


You can buy our programs for a twenty

Save yourself a thousand dollar fee

Don’t you worry, sir, we still make plenty

We get it off the Pirate Bay for free


Advertise... ain't it thrilling

Send out spam... make a killing

We pirates all say, we're happy today

Hawking all our Windows contraband


Hawking all our Windows contraband!


I Meant to Give you Some Gifts this Year

a.k.a. “Crypto Crash”

(To the tune of It Came Upon a Midnight Clear)

I meant to give you some gifts this year,

A glorious pile of presents

But all my crypto investments, dear,

Are worth about twenty-five cents.

I sang along with all those "songs," and enjoyed the heck out of it. Congratulations, Nick. And Happy New Year to you and yours. Best, Harriet Darling (from InfoWorld, of course). ??
