What's with the lowercase? I think it's cute if someone is being deliberately low-effort, or trying to present that way, but IMO it's cringe to use it for consequential official statements like this.

This is what aging millenials do to make it seem like they don't really care too much about what's going on and that they're 20 years younger.

I'm often stunned by how casually and poorly executives write. The more rich and powerful they are, the worse it seems to be. I guess things like proper capitalization, punctuation, full sentences, etc. aren't worth their time, and people will hang on every word that they write anyway.

This is funny to me, as Twitter is the platform for "deliberately low-effort" posts, but you see it as a platform for official statements. How times change...

At least we are not putting 'X' to everything like older generation.

When the networked masses can't see you using a t-shirt, jeans, and a casual attitude, to signal skills valuable beyond convention, you have to adapt and transgress more blatant conventions.

It's "millennials" not "millenials". What age group does that put you in?

Perhaps it is to make it look not like default style of ChatGPT output?

Technically the boomer marketing people did that trying to cater to generation X.

It's not just "tech bros," though. It's just as often executives in the stodgy climates of government, the military, banking and finance, etc.

Are these not official statements from gdb and sama? Where do they post the serious stuff?
