A programmer's wife tells him:
"while you're at the store, get some milk".

He never comes back.

    Is this an AI detection strategy?

    The shadow of a mountain of milk cartons, ever growing, engulfs the city as soon as he steps foot into the store. There is no going back, it's too late. This is how the world will end.

    If "get some milk" procedure contains both "buy some milk" and "go to the home" it wont be a problem. Yeah I'm fun at parties.

    So sad that this isn't about synchronous vs. asynchronous IO.

    But wouldn’t the store closing in the evening terminate the loop?

    @tombjarne yes but he was trapped in the loop for hours and it melted his brain.

    Turing test fail. Deploying anyway.

    @tombjarne Depending on the implementation and the requirements, he would have returned from the while and be left in some memory leak section or deadlock section where he doesn't know where to go.
