Seriously what is this ugly engagement optimized LLM slop of an article doing here yet again on the HN front page?

I love the Neo as much as any other enthusiast, so yes, the subject matter is subjectively “cool”.

But this “article” is indigestible. Not only it regurgitates the same thing over and over (and it has links to other articles on the same page where they already did the same), on top of that the writing style, content, intentionality does not exist in the slightest. I feel like having been offered chocolate, but having received artificial cocoa flavored petrochemicals.

The author appears to have done actual measurements and put in the work. I agree that the article probably has been run through an LLM, but as long as there's actual new (for me!) information, i don't really care
