Well, it's a little amusing I suppose, but I don't see what makes it 'kind of amazing'. I never understood claims like "if there's no free will, why do anything?"; it doesn't matter whether something's deterministic or not, only whether it's predictable or not. The only non-BS form of "free will" I've come across is Wolfram's approach of computational irreducibility, where "I" am the computational process which calculates my behaviour. From that perspective, even if someone can predict my behaviour and choices with 100% accuracy, it's still "me" making those choices, since their model of me is just another instance of me. Everything else is just geocentric fairytales.
