Mature adults can certainly think that someone else is not fit for one job (running YC) and is fit for another (handling OAI). Good business people are even better at it, knowing that makes them more money. PG certainly seems to fit that.

- Obscurity4340 3y agoCan you talk about how these traits play out for you and also the whole of the triad? I feel like we all have our own spectrum of behavior/tendencies on these respective axes. I hope I'm making sense here
- zoky 3y agoI’m not saying Sam Altman ain’t quite moral enough to join the Army… but he’d definitely be on the group W bench, if ya know what I mean…
