I upvoted it after reading it. I thought there were a number of amusing, counter-intuitive studies in the post. Worth the read.

Same; I liked it so much I added it to my rss feed reader so I don't miss future posts.

Explained in the very first sentence, "This is the quarterly links ‘n’ updates post, a selection of things I’ve been reading and doing for the past few months."

I missed that sentence too. I guess the large heading starting with "(1)" drew my eyes first and felt like the natural place to start reading, while the short sentence or two above it in smaller text subconsciously felt skippable (and was skipped). Even when I went back to read the first sentence, I had to kind of force myself to read the stuff above the first large heading. How odd!

> Few people seem quite as bothered by this aspect of reality as I am. So, since I can’t enjoy this kind of game, I thought I’d try to ruin it for everyone by showing that it’s extremely easy for machines.

My first reflexive thought, and I suspect possibly yours too, was "Oh wow it's the same pattern I've seen here for years every time the new get-rich-quick career path drops!" Remember when people would look you dead in the eye and swear to God that you'd have your OS "running on the chain" and PoW would solve the energy hogging problems of crypto? It would be the new money, goodbye fiat, everything would change!

Well a lot of the same players are cashing in on AI, but I'm sure the UFO will show up any day now.

I wholeheartedly agree. Doesn't look organic at all. Guess it's the quality of Hacker News these days: blog spam.

Adam Mastroianni is pretty popular in these parts. I don't see a reason to suspect why this post wouldn't be organic.

I liked the writing and content.

Wait until you find out most of the comments are shitposts.
