I'm the "12 years at Google" commenter from below.
Got a personal email from Craig Silverstein my first day at Google welcoming me to the company and thanking me for my work on hash functions. Chatted with him occasionally after that. Good guy.

They intended to message someone else with my first name, so my guess is they used to type that name and hit tab to start the chat, and that person was no longer the first option in the auto-complete since I joined.
(side note - the most bad-ass response to this would have been to just send back "go/no-hello" ;) )
