Isn’t it good that it spins up without no way of stopping it? Why would it be a problem that we do have a way of stopping it?

> Claude Desktop spins up a VM without no way of stopping it

I frequently make this error when I talk. My brain thinks of different ways to phrase what I want to say, but when I speak it starts with one and finishes with another. The result is almost always wrong in the way the title is, ie some variant of a double negation.

Sometimes it happens when I type, though I try to read it multiple times so often catch it.

When you realize that in some languages, for instance, in Spanish, double-negatives are not just tolerated, but correct, it helps you to let go of this particular type of pedantry when it accidentally appears in an English sentence.

This question is answered by the post? There is reportedly actually no way of stopping it happen. Perhaps the poster had a brain fart while typing it. Maybe they speak a different dialect of English from you.

I agree. Why is this a problem?
