I didn't even notice it until you pointed it out, but I checked that account's comment history and it uses em dashes. Also, "the database history itself is the active distribution vector" Is just semantic nonsense.

I still have a basic assumption that if something I'm reading doesn't make much sense to me, I probably just don't understand it. Over the last few years I've had to get used to the new assumption that it's because I'm reading LLM output.

I've also always used em-dashes, it's not a very reliable indicator. That style is a dead giveaway, though. Some of its comments seem to be written by a human, but several definitely aren't.

I've been spending less and less time here, the moderation is obviously overwhelmed and is losing the battle.

It's not semantic nonsense, it's the truth per the incident reports ... go read the links that have been added up top.
