Is there some weird chic thing where you intentionally don’t use capital letters? What is up with that behaviour? Is it some cute attempt at saying “an AI didn’t write this”?

personally, it comes from spending too much time on IRC back in the day and now thinking it's normal not to capitalize ;-) a bit of a stylistic choice

but over time I've become accustomed to capitalizing a bit more often and it's become sort of random. I actually have auto-capitalization turned off on my phone

Oh that’s an interesting source I haven’t considered. It is rather stylistic.

> Is there some weird chic thing where you intentionally don’t use capital letters? What is up with that ridiculous behaviour? I was wondering the same thing. Always, on purpose, avoiding starting sentences with capital letters. Both this guy and Sam Altman. What ... why ... ?

So you know that they are rule and norm breakers, no rule too tiny to be broken and skipped in the name of productivity/health/insert-hot-thing-of-the-day

This all seems so weird, and the list of Board members doesn't make this any easier to understand. Apart from the 3 insiders, there are 3 other board members. 2 of them seem complete no names and might not qualify for any important corporate board. In a for profit shareholders in theory control the board, in a non profit I am not even sure of who really has control over things.

The board does and they are not supposed to have a financial stake in the non-profit. Usually they just vote their friends on. Welcome to the loony tunes that is nonprofit management. Clearly Microsoft staked its whole product roadmap on 4 random people with no financial skin in the game.

That does sound like loony tunes. If the board elects itself then I think it is a very very bad arrangement for something as important as OpenAI.

Maybe auto-correction is off because you need to type too much acroynms and jargons and auto-correction is annoying?

The screw is tightening. Britains largest newspaper has just called out ai companies on their intellectual property and content theft. The game is over boys. The only question is how to make these types of companies pay for the crimes committed.

I don’t think you can conclude that the ship is sinking per say, rather those at the helm are being changed.
