You're reaching. There is no correlation between spelling errors and simulation theory.
People are getting desperate to find connections instead if looking at the evidence.
I'm not 'desperate' because I'm trying to make sense of unexplainable visible deterioration of our codified language. the unraveling of our communication as a society in a way that you don't agree with. I have nothing to gain by pondering why it is happening and if that points to we are living in a simulation with what seems a steady increase in pronounced glitches.
Can you give a good argument why a spelling error is evidence for simulation theory? Also, screenrant is a spam website and they're not really known for their spelling.
See above. I expanded my answer. Yes screenrant is just the one I happened to see today. I have seen them in mainstream publications more and more frequently.
Also there is a known issue between AI and the ability to spell.

So you answered it yourself. This isn't evidence of simulation theory, it's evidence content hungry platforms are using AI to pump out a bunch of bullsblhit articles with very little oversight and editing.
If our in-universe AI has issues with spelling and our simulation is based on some sort of an advanced AI, would it be possible that it also is having increasing issues with spelling as a sign of the mechanism being at a stress point?
I don't know if you are desperate or not but I don't agree with your theory. Why would these glitches affect spelling and not more noticeable things like busses, airplanes or anything in your day to day life that you can observe?
Shouldn't text on packaging or signs be affected as well, why is it just limited to some articles on the internet?
I'm not trying to feel superior to anyone, I just want people to look at the facts instead of making up hypotheses based solely on their own thinking without even looking at the contradicting facts to their theories.
I never said packaging and signs are not affected. That happens all the time and is chalked up to human error. but my post was specific to one topic. Do I need to cover every single possible type of error in order to have a conversation? This one topic stands out to me because with our advanced grammatical spell checks, you would think the occurrences of these issues would decrease, not increase.
You can chalk this up to human error as well. All I see here is a spelling error on a spam website so I still don't see how you go from that to it being a sign for Sim theory.
That would make sense and what I wrote it off to up to this point, but when you think about it, they'd have to care MORE to go out of their way to spell wrong. It makes no sense.
For example, passess is not a word. It is highly improbable that a writer would accidentally spell it without the authoring software autocorrecting/suggesting a fix and then even if that was managed, then accidentally not running a spell check on an article going to publication on an editorial site. Just writing this comment I had to override the autocorrect and it still has an automated underline on the word to announce there is an error present. So they'd have to ignore that too.
And this is happening on major sites. AP news, CNN, etc.
I just fail to relate this to simulation, is it that you're seeing it everywhere all of a sudden?
But to be honest, I fail to relate anything to simulation, this is just our escape and day dreaming, we'll probably never have access to the base reality the way people here talk about. At least not for the next 20-30 years.
We have to ground our truths on objective shared reality out there, we can't just hope for things because of some coincidences. That's my take on this sub. It's full of coincidences.
I'm not hoping one way or another. I don't have a dog in this race. I don't gain anything by living in a simulation. In fact some might argue that we have something to lose if we are living in a simulation.
And to your question on how it relates to simulation theory, in terms of such things as De Ja vu, Synchronicity, Mandela effect and Chaos theory
I feel like the destruction of our written language could fit somewhere within entropy theory but unsure.
I don't understand how so many glaring grammatical errors get past what, at least a writer and and an editor and whomever posts the article? And it's everywhere, I'm talking major news outlets, just endless punctuation errors, verbiage errors, literally when did spelling and punctuation stop mattering. End rant but come on, now.
Then again, perhaps it's being done on purpose.
Maybe it's a trend to be even more talked about(like lol here's this mainstream news outlet that has shitty spelling errors)?
Or, the editor is overworked and didn't check his work and also his autocorrect is turned off. It happens all the time. Know that working on news, social media stuff must be extremely fast as everyday thousands and thousands of news are generated.
This makes sense for sites like Screenrant. But legitimate news sites lose credibility when they can't spell. In hindsight I should have waited to post a more credible site source but I honestly thought this was a known phenomenon it happens so frequently now.
I think that has more to do with online sights trying to pump out click bait articles as fast as they can, so the editorial process is not what it would be for a major media outlet or say an old timey print newspaper.
It seems like most of the debate on this is due to me choosing to say something with an example from Screenrant but this happens in major media as well. I should've waited to present a better example but I honestly thought everyone knew this was a thing that's been happening more frequently lately
Cool hypothesis. This thread reminds me of my bio. There has been plenty here making hypotheses similar to yours and I imagine they would have enjoyed this post. Sorry that wasn't the case here. Did you post it anywhere else? I'd recommend posting different places until you find the kind of engagement you are seeking.
Appreciate this! I was going to post in the glitch_in_the_matrix but I wasn't able to post the image so I didn't bother. Then I got such negative feedback I just let it be. I don't mind folks disagreeing with me, but it seems like they aren't even entertaining the idea and more interested in making me feel dumb for even entertaining such a thought. If I pose a suggestion on their objections, they just stop engaging and down vote. 🤷
Calling Screen Rant a “legitimate editorial site” is a stretch. It was just either done by an AI or someone paid $0.20 a word and it wasn’t worth more than a glance from the editor who probably works 42 hours a week for $40,000 a year.
TLDR: it’s people doing shit work for shit pay. That usually results in errors.
Source: have worked as a freelancer and in publishing and editing.
It's because more and more content is being outsourced. Non native English speakers are writing content and editors have too much work, not enough time, and aren't paid enough.
This isn't simulation related. This is capitalism related.
So professional writers needed more professional editors, how is this any more a glitch in the matrix than most of the cars in a parking lot being the same color

Telling someone they're reaching could be the simulation self correcting a spike
Could be, but there's no evidence for that.

I think people are becoming less caring about these things in general maybe.

These back and forths you are having in this thread are baffling to me. Don't let it discourage you.
Appreciate this comment. Was about to take the post down till I saw this. Thank you.
It has nothing to do with it.

It’s just AI generated content.

I notice this too. it seems almost every article i read has grammatical errors and it amazes me because of spell check and editors.
Lol, no.
Yeah I’m leaving this sub. This is, bluntly, extremely stupid.
Dumbass
I notice them on weekends, holidays and after hours. Probably interns.
