"plansturbation" is a real industry, there are tons of successful YouTubers that sell millions of dollars in tutorials, courses, books, etc on how to setup your productivity harness

It's hard to take your argument of "removing capitalization has made my writing better" seriously when your comment history shows that you do capitalize your written text.

right, because i couldn't have adopted this writing style in the past few weeks.

to address your second point, i could probably make better use of punctuation, but the original message is still delivered without all the fluff IMO.

to me, the goal of written text is to put an idea or a concept in the mind of another person. _capitalization_ is one of those "arbitrary rules" that add absolutely nothing to this process unless you're using an obscure acronym. in my mind, it's one of those ancient rules that are completely obsolete in the modern world. its only purpose is to allow others to say "i am better than you because i use this ancient rule that someone came up with a thousand years ago, so i'm smart and you're dumb".

being a non-native english speaker, removing capitalization from my writing removed a ton of anxiety when writing text and didn't change at all the landing of my messages or my ideas.

- meh, i asked what happened to Virginia Guiffre and it told me that she's alive and well living with her husband and children in australia

- i pointed out that she died on 2025 and then it told me that my question was a prank with a gaslighting tone because that date is 11 months into the future

- it never tried to search the internet for updated knowledge even though the toggle was ON.

- all other AI competitors get this right

Perhaps for extremely basic products. Most non-engineers can barely write and untangle their messy thoughts and you think they can just build a spec for an AI to build a product? Hopefully I'm wrong, but I doubt it.

(tangent) for those of us who had close experiences with addiction in our families, it's so obvious why "give them money" or "give them homes to live in" isn't a solution to homelesness. A close family member owned 3 properties and still was living in the streets by choice because of his addiction which evolved into a full blown paranoid schizophrenia. He almost lost it all but he was forcefully commited into a mental institution and rehab saved his life.

"Hallucination machine, responds with hallucinations".

But seriously, entreprise customers (and any big spender account) usually get access to a dedicated (human) account rep and private support channels in Slack, so they never really interact with this.

I think it doesn't have to be like that, but it's the way Java code has been written for ages, so those habits stuck. You can see it clearly when you bring a Java programmer to collaborate on a Ruby or Python codebase, if you let them, the will turn your codebase into an enterprise-ready mess with layers on top of layers of indirection in a blink.

That's one way of seeing it, but antagonizing and alienating a big portion of the general population like blacks, immigrants, gays, trans and everyone who doesn't share your same religious views, in a country where teenagers can get easy access to assault rifles, might be a bit dangerous to say the least.

Because he didn't want to? He mentioned that for him, this is like a "gardening" project, so why take away the joy of programming just to become an AI operator?
