It grinds my gears that someone who can’t be fucked with capitalization has that much money and power. I get that using the shift key occasionally is an inconvenience but we do it to help the readers. A conversation is give and take.

Like all techbros it is an affectation to cultivate a certain sort of appearance. A type of mad faux intellectualism.

You literally have to be a tryhard to do all lowecase on a phone, for example.

i’ve disabled auto caps on my phone :o

i generally type in all lower case because it appears more casual, at least to me. it’s not exactly a rule i follow, so it’s never consistent, and i don’t mind capitalizing abbreviations and names and such anyways.

Same, but I generally only use all lowercase in IMs/other short form text media (so, not here), and when I’m writing German I do capitalize nouns. I’ve always had auto capitalization off since before I started this too since I’m used to pressing shift on the computer.

i disabled auto-capitalisation a decade ago on my phone and that change has persisted ever since, but yeah guess i’m a tryhard. yeesh, being a grammar “nazi” was uncool even back then on reddit, imagine still being hard up about it in 2025.

i am on a phone. i did not press any extra keys to make my phone not do caps - this is because i have changed my phone to this, because when you write about technical things, capitalisation is important - lower case everything is lower case everything. i’m not about to start hitting an extra key at random times when this is perfectly fine. i’ve never had an issue reading all lower case

it’s not try-hard; it’s practical for people who work with tech

It seemed to be a trend amongst younger people who would disable auto capitalisation.

We have plenty of alternatives like Mistral, Gemini, qwen, deepseek…

But none of them is fully open source that you know data they’ve been trained with, right? Maybe only K2 ?

I thought deepseek was open source. Guess not

You can download the model, you do not have the source of the model.

It is similar to releasing a compiled software app as shareware vs publishing your source code.

Just the weights, training it is another story.

In other news, shit spewing liar spews more shit and lies to get more of your money.

He thinks they’re on the wrong side of history my ass. He doesn’t care. He never cared. He will never care. The open source you and I know is completely different than the “open source” this chucklefuck is probably selling you on. “We need to figure out a different open source strategy” should be the biggest indicator here. Take everything he and his circlejerk says with the biggest fucking mountain of salt you can dream of and double it.

I’ve never even seen him say something remotely intelligent. He also hires rabid zionists foaming at the mouth to bomb Gaza and in response he was like “I hire muslims so it cancels out man”.

Yeah totally agree. He has proven to be one of the slimiest people on the scene. I mean, he is pretty much throwing his colleagues under the bus in this statement too lol

There’s a strong chance he’d enjoy it; so maybe it’s best not to just to spite him. Lol
