Why is everything in lowercase?
- BoredPositron 9mo agoMaybe he is a fan of the Bauhaus movement. >> we write everything in small letters, as we save time. also: why 2 alphabets, if one achieves the same? why capitalize, if you can't speak big?

- anonymous908213 9mo agosam altman types like this, so this is what is cool to the agi believers.
- Der_Einzige 9mo agoMaybe he writes in lower case because he targets "lower ages"? https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cz6lq6x2gd9o https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cz6lq6x2gd9o
- thousand_nights 9mo agothis is cultural appropriation, i learned to type like this on irc in the 90s also i don't want to be mistaken for a phone poster
- anonymous908213 9mo agoThere are two notable differences between when the AGI-posters do it and when IRC-posters do it. AGI-posters extend their lowercase posting to what would normally be seen as more formal communication. They also tend to stick to using punctuation despite the lowercase. IRC posters usually keep it to informal communications, where it's a sign of casualness. That said, there is overlap, and it's of course not possible to instantly distinguish someone as a Sama devotee because of how they type; but it is clear that a lot of people in that bubble are intentionally adopting the style.
- lmf4lol 9mo agoFunny thing is that his agent is perfectly capable of using upper- and lowercase correctly. Judging from his screenshots..
