I do not trust that man one iota.

The blog post is very good.

Why?

He's got a habit of self aggrandizing, antagonism, and deception in an effort to promote himself and his brand, I worry that his explanations are designed to maximally benefit him, rather than to maximally explain the topic.

He's a brilliant man, I just don't trust him.

Is that the case with this specific article?

That’s not how trust works.

I agree generally but read the post and it only mentions cellular automata briefly and promotes Wolfram Alpha once. Overall it's very good at moving from Markov chains to neural nets with decent examples and graphics.
