Why is everything in lowercase?

He doesn’t even have time to open his freezer door. Why should he waste time on inefficient capital letters.

sam altman types like this, so this is what is cool to the agi believers.

this 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

		There 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.

Maybe he writes in lower case because he targets "lower ages"?

Funny thing is that his agent is perfectly capable of using upper- and lowercase correctly. Judging from his screenshots..

Maybe 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?

Almost reaching the "Why use many word when few do trick?"
