  Yeah, though I wonder if Aaronson’s writing tone is somewhat influenced by Alexander’s. At least he reminded me of him by the end. I’m pretty sure they all know/read each other - related communities/ideas. PBS also has a (now discontinued) YouTube show called infinite series that did a decent overview of the algorithm and showed examples of a lot of the stuff described here.
