While everybody was clowning on the UK, the same thing on my home turf went unnoticed.

All these fucking dorks at Anthropic do is yap about how insane their product is and how end-of-the-world it will be
Someone tell these jabronis to shut the fuck up, holy Christ they're so annoying
The biggest disappointment in modern game trailers is when you see a CG cutscene that's modestly directed transition into a sizzle reel of Unreal Engine default particles and motion blur vomit.
If lines of code were a meaningful measure of software quality, then the ideal program would be an infinitely long, labyrinthine monument to redundancy in which every variable enjoyed its own paragraph, every conditional branch was lovingly expanded into a dissertation, every reusable function was duplicated dozens of times for the sake of numerical abundance, and every simple idea was buried beneath geological strata of boilerplate, thereby rewarding verbosity over clarity, complexity over elegance, maintenance burden over maintainability, bug surface area over correctness, and programmer ego over engineering discipline, while simultaneously ignoring the inconvenient reality that the history of computing is littered with brilliant achievements—from hand-crafted assembly routines to elegant algorithms and compact operating system components—that derived much of their value precisely from accomplishing more with less, making lines of code roughly as sensible a productivity metric as measuring the quality of a novel by its weight, the efficiency of an engine by the amount of metal in the block, or the intelligence of an argument by the number of words it takes to arrive at the point.
Brevity is wit.
