So, basically this article doesn't provide any insights and or technical background on how any of this was achieved.

Just promotes the author for conference speaking.

Thought experiments such as the author's are the insight.

One of the distinguishing features of a thought experiment is a lack of implementation details in the domain to which the analogy is applied.

I agree it is a bit self-promoting, but I think the concept itself, as-is, without technical details, is worthy of a HN discussion.
