I'll give the commenter the benefit of the doubt. While reading the piece, which wasn't as easy as it ought to have been, I kept wondering what the "point" was. Ultimately, the whole piece just seems a little pointless. It was just stuff, and more stuff. All without an obvious or even a subtle point. Just stuff, without any hint of an author's shadow being on it.

I know I try to find a pattern (or a point) where it may not exist. People will read into things like this what they will; sometimes they're right, and sometimes they're seeing a pattern that's not there.

My take-away is that the original post smelled like a bunch of AI generated nonsense, with light human editing; strictly with a view to nerd-sniping only. Von Neumann is catnip.
