If I recall correctly, didn't that coincide with Sam Altman et al. visiting Trump to discuss policy?

  I have no idea. Sorry.

    Political Detox Week started 2016-12-05 if my math is correct, and ended a couple days later. The meeting with Trump was on 2016-12-14. I don't see any reference that Y Combinator in general or Sam Altman in particular attended, though there are references "among others" and such, so I couldn't say definitively. https://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/14/technology/trump-tech-summit.html https://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/14/technology/trump-tech-sum... Regardless, it looks like they didn't coincide; they were a week apart.

      Ah, good fact-finding! I'd heard rumblings that Political Detox Week was basically done to prevent snowballing outrage before said visit. It's probably just a kook theory--thanks for digging up a timeline.
