Mod note on 'Just the ones that broke through'

Folks, just a quick note: this post has picked up a number of flags, as have some of the comments. The article may be LLM-generated (or at least LLM-assisted), but the post itself is fine and the conversation seems to be going alright, so i'm not deleting anything. But please continue to keep things on-rails and at least vaguely on-topic. Thanks!
