All self-checkouts I see around here are either completely empty, or full of workers who have to help the people using them, at least about 1 worker for every 4 self-checkout stations.

Are you sure you want to keep them from selfdestructing?

Remember the show Pantheon?
Have someone make a fake ‘scanning’ machine and tell all these guys we’ll give them digital immortality. “Scan” then, and then have their digital selves go on with their lives.

But those “digital” selves are actually people who are impersonating them and redirecting their wealth for the good of the world, claiming that their new perspective of immortality has completely changed their mindsets.

Yeah. Not falling for that.

The original owners are saying they want to relaunch MySpace, but they will likely fill it with LLM slop and drivel and create profit-making algorithms while saying they are going to do otherwise.

If they don’t make it a federated platform, it will inevitably enshitify.

No. I mean that being in denial is when you convince yourself of something that is not true. They perfectly know the trust. They are not fooling themselves. They are just plain ol’ lying, trying to fool others.

They are not in denial. They just don’t want to face that justice.
