For what it’s worth Gary, Khan’s FTC and Gensler’s SEC are looking pretty DOA in February, but a lot can happen before then and Google is under enough pressure that people are talking seriously about Chrome being broken off. The fine print about what constitutes a monopoly that damages consumer outcomes as narrowly construed bench legislating in Texas doesn’t matter to the optics. Even if distancing YC from sama isn’t realistic on a dime, it wouldn’t hurt to step up to the same yard-line Nadella has on “we do business, we’re not married”. And yanking the Thiel lectures and other “you will do nothing because you can do nothing” stuff from the official channel isn’t just ethically mandatory (IMHO), it’s also basic risk management. You get to be a hothead on Twitter because you’re too big to fail, but I actually empathize because I lose my temper on a text sometimes too. Any time doing the right thing is also +EV for the portfolio? That’s the move.
