Ironically, if you just kept the default keyboard settings on your phone, it will capitalize words for you. So these people changes the default settings to create this impression?

I disabled it for being annoying and frequently wrong. The idea that someone might interpret my laziness as a flex (or vise versa) is hilarious to me.

Haha, we're here arguing whether LLMs constitute AGI, and we can't even phone autocomplete right

Why anyone trusts Altman or OpenAI with something as societally consequential as AI is beyond me.

Sam is in a tough position. OpenAI is worth 100B. At this level, a founder would have been worth $20B at least. But Sam aren't getting any of that net worth but he gets all the bad reps that comes with running a 100B company.

i've been mostly using all lowercase for decades.. am i the asshole?

not at all, its a stylistic preference for some but its also easier and faster. i've been typing lowercase on PC [faster] and mobile [preference] for as long as i can remember; only using capitalization and punctuation where it feels necessary and for emphasis ..and to the best of my knowledge no one i chat with thinks it's strange, and no one on any forum has said anything about it either. the hate in this thread is…

Can you please explain to me how it is faster? You click shift and the character at the same time.

Nothing quite like a contract’s consideration consisting solely of a pre-existing obligation. I wonder what they were thinking with that?

but sam said he was sorry in all lowercase so it must be okay

Semi off-topic, but the trend of AI influencers adopting the all-lowercase communication style in professional conversation has been very annoying. It makes them appear completely unserious. I recently received an job recruitment email for an AI role in all-lowercase and I was baffled how to interpret it.

Postmodernism is consuming everything

Instead of taking 15 years to drop the "don't be evil" act like Google, the new AI companies did it in two! e/acc, baby!

what does e/acc mean?

THIS IS WHY I PREFER TO COMMUNICATE ONLY IN CAPITAL LETTERS. IT REMOVES ANY AMBIGUITY AS TO WHETHER OR NOT I’M ANGRY SINCE THE READER CAN ASSUME I’M ALWAYS SCREAMING IN THEIR FACE. I HOPE YOU ARE HAVING A NICE DAY.

Caps Lock is Cruise Control for Cool, right? ;o)

Sam Altman has stated over and over again, publicly: "I don't care what other people think." And I'm not paraphrasing.

Once you learn that online outrage doesn't actually impact your life that much, its easy to ignore. Gone are the days of public apologies and now we just sweep criticism under the rug and carry on.

I think trump taught us that very few people will stop you physically if you just ignore what they have to say.

I really wish there was some simple calculations that could be shown on how posts are ranked. For eg post A has x upvotes, y comments, is z minutes old and therefore rank 2. Post B has these values, while C is here. Hence this post went down the front page quickly. It's not that I don't trust the mods explicitly, it's just that showing such numbers (if they exist) would be helpful for transparency.

People always interested and fascinated by the algorithm whenever it comes up. Dang makes the (correct) assertion that people will much more easily game it if they know the intricacies. PG always churlishly jumps in to say there’s nothing interesting about it and any discussion of it is boring. Pretty asinine response but I work in Hollywood and each studio lot has public tours giving anyone that wants a glimpse behi…

Which is interesting, because it's sacrilege to insinuate that it's being gamed at all.
