This work seems like it was a some sort of advanced LLM output. Thought-provoking and curious, but no soulful thread of consciousness. It could also be schizoid rambling, but it seems too detached for that. I read it bottom to top and it made no more sense. I guess this is what makes frontpage HN these days. It’s probably the third or fourth thing over the past month that was obvious garbage.

I've no idea if TFA is good or not, but it is very new and has only 4 upvotes. The HN front page is a mix of new and popular-despite-age. So it's not surprising to find some barely-vetted things on the front page. (AFAIK the idea is that we're all suppoed to vet them, and the survivors stay on the front page for longer)

They should be vetted by people that pay attention and read the content. If LLM garbage content is regularly getting around the filter, that’s a stone’s throw from dangerous content that could damage the community.
