I've been thinking about the recent changes in Chris' writing style (and his overall character). No new info just speculations.
For decades, his style remained mostly consistent, even for some time after he got out of jail, if I recall correctly. But lately, his posts feel different—less erratic, more coherent—almost as if a saner person were writing them instead. Here’s a random Bsky example.
The signature hallmarks of Chris' writing are missing. There's less over-the-top enthusiasm for whatever happens to be occupying his mind. He doesn’t always sign off as whichever deity he's being at the time. Previously, everything he said was tied to for eg My Little Pony, his fictional polycule, someone who offended him, or his maladaptive daydreams. Now, there's noticeably less of the random capitalization, made-up words, and trademark eccentricities we’ve come to expect. He's more reflecting on his life, making boundaries, criticizing when others invade his privacy etc... Like he now has more agency over his mind than before?
Others have speculated on this too. Some think Flutter or Caden might be helping him. Others suggest he might even be using ChatGPT.
But if that’s true, it would mean Chris has developed enough self-awareness to recognize that his writing needs to change and is actually making an effort. That’s a pretty big shift for him. Or maybe that happened organically if his mental state is better?
Here are my thoughts on each of those theories:
Just to clarify, I'm not comparing Chris now to Chris in his golden age when most of his outbursts where organized by trolls, I know he's been boring for a long time.

Here are my thoughts on each of those theories:
- If the helper is Caden: This shift could be for Chris' personal benefit, not Caden’s. A less eccentric Chris might generate fewer sales, though I’m just speculating.
- If the helper is Flutter: This feels plausible, especially since we know she’s helped him with streaming before. The bigger question is whether Chris himself wanted to return to streaming, or if Caden pushed him into it to boost sales. If it’s the latter, Flutter might be helping both Chris and Caden by extension. (speculation made by a cocktail of other speculations: If a) she really likes Chris b) he doesn't want to stream c) she is rich so money is not a problem d) she doesn't want to be doxed, it would be in her best interest that Chris stays off the Internet. Or maybe it's his Infamy what gets her hot and bothered so she will encourage him to be online now and then so she keeps finding him... Attractive or what those persons do...).
- If the helper is AI: he got the advice to start using ChatGPT or similar and actually follows through.
1-.3. Helpers rewriting his messages: If this is true, it would require significant time, effort, and patience—not just from whoever’s helping him but from Chris too. That’s a lot to coordinate for him and confirms he's less impulsive.
- Proper treatment: What if Chris has finally started receiving real psychiatric or psychological care? Maybe they’ve found a medication or therapy regimen that works, and it’s helping him manage his eccentricities. If that’s the case, it’s indication of how much better his life could’ve been if Bob and Barb had sought help for him earlier. He might have had a shot at a more normal life.
