AI Ponies: Magic is Optimization
Is it some sort of SEO trick? Because it doesn’t sound like a better name otherwise.
Is Hanna an autistic savant of some kind?

Hófvarpnir is from Norse mythology, which makes sense in the context of their first project and kind of foreshadowing of their next one. I like how it turned out, and I learned a bit about Norse mythology because of that.

Fic titles that word-substitute the original title signal either parody or amateurism to me. I notice Iceman isn’t prefacing it with “My Little Pony :”, though, so that’s something (and possibly a leg up on my suggestion).

I don’t get why.
It seems like a typical person forced to write the utility function that would shape the rest of history would take things a little (edit: I did say a little) more seriously. I’m only speaking from the summary; I don’t know any later context.

Thanks for the feedback.
You wish that they would. Take this as a cautionary tale.
