Idk, maybe my LLM detention isn’t good enough, but this doesn’t read like LLM writing to me. The jokes are just-subtle enough to land, and the points are unexpected-yet-slightly-convincing. From LLM’s I often get info that’s overly obvious, or just wrong. I could believe an LLM was used for editing / flushing out an initial draft, but that really doesn’t bother me.

Would be very interested to hear from the author whether it is LLM writing or not.

But, it's so bloody plausible on a superficial level. Somebody went to a bit of effort to make sure that this nonsense got into the world, and onto HN. Well played, I say. I honestly believe that someone I know will tell me within 3 months that the AEC is training raccoons to eliminate nuclear fusion's waste using some fantastic microbial electrolysis. They'll swear it's true.
