Tweet is simply text on an image that reads:
"People have been claiming YC fired Sam Altman. That's not true. Here's what actually happened. For several years he was running both YC and OpenAI, but when OpenAI announced that it was going to have a for-profit subsidiary and that Sam was going to be the CEO, we (specifically Jessica) told him that if he was going to work full-time on OpenAI, we should find someone else to run YC, and he agreed. If he'd said that he was going to find someone else to be CEO of OpenAI so that he could focus 100% on YC, we'd have been fine with that too. We didn't want him to leave, just to choose
one or the other."
- dmd 2y agoWhy even is it an image? paulg pays for twitter, he could have just tweeted the whole thing. It's bizarre.
- aaronharnly 2y agoPerhaps a habit from the days of more limited Twitter character counts.
- namrog84 2y agoMaybe it's to help distance one self from what you want to say or reverse seo thing?
- CarVac 2y agoYou can't read an entire >280 character tweet without clicking on it.
- NKosmatos 2y agoHey, if Paul Graham can post an announcement on Twitter/X as an image with Courier monospaced font (left justified) instead of just typing the actual text, then who am I to judge people sending me Word documents, containing bitmap images of screen captures of a photo showing an image of a handwritten note :-)
