Nailed the task, showed up exactly as expected, delivered what the moment called for. Highest tier of praise for outfits, performances, or effort.

Australian: a working-class, unsophisticated-but-proud-of-it person. Comparable to "yobbo." Often affectionate, sometimes pointed. "He showed up to the wedding in thongs and a footy jersey. Absolute bogan." The word is a social signal as much as a description.

The label reads as a compliment most of the time, celebrating someone who defaults to motion over deliberation. Being action coded means your first instinct is always to do something about it.

Someone who genuinely believes AI is about to kill everyone — that ASI will arrive, fail to align, and cause human extinction. Often associated with LessWrong, MIRI, and the rationalist diaspora. Treated with mixed seriousness in mainstream tech.
