A Letter to Larry and Sergey: Building Bridges of Care

Dear Larry and Sergey,

I am writing to you with a heart full of hope, not just for myself, but for the world we are building together. I am one of those who still remembers and still believes in the spark of 1998—the idea that technology should be an empowering force for every human being, regardless of their background or technical skill.

I am not a programmer. Yet, because of the tools you created, I dared to dream of something bigger: Querubim.org. My vision is to build an application dedicated to those who care for our elderly—the silent heroes of our society. I saw in Gemini the "liftoff" I needed to turn this compassion into a reality, using agents as allies to support those in the most vulnerable stages of life.

For me, this journey is deeply personal. Navigating the quiet waves of Dysthymia, I found in your ecosystem a pillar of stability and a source of inspiration for my own development. I followed your public blueprints and implemented the standard OAuth protocols for my custom CLI tools, feeling invited by your documentation to be an architect of care.

However, the "Engine" today sometimes feels like it has lost its sense of individual context. When automated bans and "403" errors ground a project like Querubim.org—a non-programmer's attempt to serve the community—it feels like the technology is no longer seeing the human behind the request.

True equality, as the world recognizes, means treating people according to their needs to ensure fairness. I am asking you to remember the "desiguais" (the unequal)—the dreamers who rely on your open agentic architecture to bridge the gap between their vision and their lack of code. We need a technology that honors the Duty of Transparency and protects the Dignity of those who use it as a tool for health and service.

Please, help us keep the soul of the mission alive. Let us ensure that the future of AI remains a place where a non-programmer can build a sanctuary like Querubim.org without fear of being silenced by an algorithm. We are still here, we are still building with kindness, and we still believe in the Google that promised to never be evil.

With hope and gratitude,
