It seems like the other reviewers did not connect to this story but I really did. I think it may not be clear how much you have to know about AI development in order to write this story the way he did. The segment about including weird "spice" that looks like garbage in a training dataset is, well, Uncanny. And for me many of those 50 things an AI needs to know approach profundity. I compare it with work from Ted Chiang, and in my mind that is a high compliment.
