The whole post is the same short thought repeated over and over.
My recommendation to the author is to read and reflect on “Atomic blog posts”¹, by Mike Crittenden. I’ll reproduce it here in its entirety:
> There’s no law that says a blog post needs more than one idea or more than one sentence.

- mrcsharp 1y agoI love that and strongly agree with it. I should probably start practicing that.
- tpoacher 1y agoNice atomic blogpost! Thank you for sharing!
- MathMonkeyMan 1y agoHow many times did I read "a pie-eating contest where the prize for winning is more pie" before clicking away? 1. The hacker news title. 2. The tab title. 3. The image at the top left. 4. The text section to the right of the image. 5. The second sentence. 6. Different crop of the same image from before, but now below the second sentence. I know that this isn't a curious comment, but holy shit dude.
- tpoacher 1y agoWhile the concept of atomic blogposts is a nice one, I think this characterisation is a bit unfair in this case. In my view he put four separate but related and logically linked nice thoughts together, and tried to link them all thematically by restating the pie analogy briefly each time. And the post was otherwise quite short and punchy. I read this comment before the post itself and I expected to read some sort of lengthy AI slop repeating the same idea ad nauseam, but it was nothing of the sort.
