Same with the trillion dollar comment below.

It looks like he has a few more comments from reddit. Looks like the user is trying to get karma here by plagiarism.

Having high internet points makes you marginally more able to inject whatever hustle you've got going on into the conversation at some future date. Just a guess.

Could be a bot that copies high point top level comments on threads about the same URL from reddit to HN and vice versa in order to create accounts with high karma for future sock puppeting?

Ah the precious made up fame currency. Got to catch them all teh internetz pointz.
