A few words on my former colleagues: @miramurati was my role model and a courageous leader - she gave me my best piece of management advice to date (make the decision that is fair, not the one that makes people happy). @bobmcgrewai was the best problem solver I've worked with

While today’s departures are tough, I’m incredibly excited and honored to lead research at @OpenAI alongside @merettm. I truly believe that OpenAI is the best place to work on AI, and I've been through enough ups and downs to know it's never wise to bet against us.

It’s extremely hard for seed & pre-seed funds to invest in YC companies today Valuation & dilution expectations just don’t work with a seed fund model The program can be great for founders but the new YC investment structure precludes funds outside of multi-stage from investing

You can have a great startup idea, but a great startup idea is like having a great plan for a fistfight. The moment the idea actually touches customers is like the moment you get punched in the face. What matters is what you do at that moment, not the plan.

San Francisco must fund recovery-first housing that has no drugs in it It is inhumane to force people by de facto requiring people to live in housing that is full of people abusing drugs PSH residents want recovery. Why won’t the city fund it?

You get collegial environments very rarely and when you get to be in them or you get to create them you must be very thankful And you can’t forget what allowed it to come together. It doesn’t come for free or automatically.
