    They just can’t help themselves. All of these techbro fuckers jumped the gun on this being “THE” AI wave but instead have bet everything on the equivalent of the self checkout kiosk at the grocery store. That was touted as the way to save money, lower the chances of unionism, and make the checkout process more efficient. Instead it has been a money pit that introverts and morally flexible people love! AI slop is flooding Youtube, drowning the tech industry in biblical sized code commits and hallucinated security threats, while continuing to be the greatest theft in the history of our species (after that mother fucker Thog stole my ancestors shiny rock).

      funny thing is self-checkout ends up costing grocery chains more money in the end, because it was an easy to shoplift without causing too much suspicion, at least for a few years it was introduced.

        I am not seeing a problem so I suspect its an elder millenial/xennial thing?

        Other possibility is I am on piefed, you are lemmy, and the formatting has gotten bjorked between them?

        edit: I am curious now, can you send me a screenshot?

          I am on lemmy, using the Sync app, but this is only showing this way for your posts. It doesn’t seem consistent, some look to be double spaced, others 4-6 spaces

            This is fascinating. Most of those are indeed elder millennial double spaces after the punctuation but the inconsistency is odd. Also I don’t see them on my computer.
