I didn’t know he was fired from y combinator, what were the details?
- bmitc 2y agoExplicit details were never released because for some reason people seem to like watching Altman fall his way up the ladder.

Regardless, this is another in a recent string of blows to YC's reputation for making people believe Sama moved on when in reality he was fired. What do you call making people believe something that's knowingly not true? Deception?
