- chongli 3y agoSam Altman is no longer affiliated with YCombinator.
- peepeepoopoo47 3y agoDoesn't matter. He's still part of the same tech oligarch social circles, and the way they're all suddenly trying to cozy up to regulators is absolutely disgusting.
- ankit219 3y agoDon't PG and Jessica have an investment in OpenAI? I think YC also counts it as one of investee companies. Jessica was one of the founding members. (based on a bit of googling) If openai were a public company, the amount of shilling YC folks do for OpenAI would have to carry a disclaimer about being an investor.

- chpatrick 3y agoY Combinator is big tech.
- rmbyrro 3y agoThey are big, but if they can't invest in small AI startups, they're doomed.
