I didn't want to watch the cartoon because I thought I could just skim the story faster, and that's how I read the "Hurr durr AI can derive general relativity in three frames, nothing personnel, kid" story in full for the first time. It sucks that people didn't nip Yud in the bud early enough by telling him he lacked sci-fi chops, though I suspect that wouldn't have slowed him down at all.
The story itself is an allegory^1^ about AI processing information fast^2^. Yud wasn't thinking of himself as a sci-fi writer when writing this; he probably thought he was the messiah delivering a sermon, which... is exactly how I've come to understand Yud anyway.
