What is this supposed to be about? Looks like rambling of a man in his personal blog. Some context would help.

Why do people upvote this en-masse while actually interesting tech related blogs just fly by without a vote?

(genuinely trying to understand).

Are you all sitting on Discord channels, chilling each other's posts for karma points?

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

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."

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.
