Of course it's performative. They're all presumably on Apple devices. They literally went to their settings to disable auto-capitalization to make some kind of ridiculous point, i.e. "I'm too important too think about capital letters".
I think it’s worse actually, I think the point is “I’m too chill and down to earth, I’m just like you fellow kids”
Clearly the AI is not as widely used within the company as he proclaimed :)
high impact executives like myself are too busy to use up our precious time with minutia like capitalization. every second counts when youre a high impact ceo and thats just one reason why our compensation is 1000X your own.
