“By 2018, several Y.C. partners were so frustrated with Altman’s behavior that they approached Graham to complain. Graham and Jessica Livingston, his wife and a Y.C. founder, apparently had a frank conversation with Altman. Afterward, Graham started telling people that although Altman had agreed to leave the company, he was resisting in practice”

You can subtly see residue of this frustration in Dalton and Michael’s videos when Sam Altman comes up. It’s only thinly veiled that Sam was a snake while at YC.



Quite interesting to see that PG basically indirectly enabled all of this by putting Sam in the position of a president of YC.


That guy is a snake, not just while at YC.


I do wonder exactly what he was doing to be considered a snake. I know he was working on other things, but what else was going on?


Read the article?


No. I figured it was almost completely if not completely about OpenAI. These things tend to be quite lengthy and I do not have an hour to devote to reading things that don’t directly impact me or my family of profession these days.


video link?


57:42 here: https://youtu.be/m7LvNTbaqSI That one is borderline ^.

Then another dalton and Michael one can’t find.


lmao, thank God now everyone realize the glaze is too much
