I'm confused; why is this hitting #2 on HN? I don't see the H or the N in this.

It's always funny to me how often comments like yours show up, despite a long history on here of diverse thoughts and intellectual curiosities, technological or otherwise.

But especially funny and bewildering in this case is that you have this in your About section of your HN user account:

  > A journey from the liberal arts to hacking the latest gadgets or statistics.

Diving deep into something is a core aspect of hacking.

Because it's about AI

Because it's thick.

As you delve further into the article, and (ironically, based on the topic) consider the ideas presented, it becomes more clear. Or skip to near the end to see.

TLDR: AI and generic pop culture artifacts have something in common - a lack of a certain type of depth that makes art great.
