Today in "Stories from a Coworking-Space":

The LLM bros a few tables away from mine are talking about the business plan for their 'revolutionary' slop machine.

One of them keeps saying 'market infestation' when talking about the market share they're dreaming of.

I don't think that he chose this particular wording as a result of critical deliberations. I think he likes it because it sounds aggressive.

But I also think 'infestation' describes the slop madness beautifully.
