Nothing unusual. There's not an AI company (mostly AI wrappers) on planet in which Y Combinator hasn't sprinkled their cash already.<p>I'd go as far to say that it's impossible at this point to form an AI company without YCombinator not investing in it.
Greg Brockman (President of OpenAI) also said that OpenAI is around 80% close to achieving "AGI", but it was disclosed that his stake in OpenAI is worth around 30BN.<p>So what does the true definition of "AGI" actually mean? It depends on who you ask.<p>It appears to many to mean "A Great IPO" or "A Gigantic IPO" at this point rather than "Artificial General Intelligence" which has been clearly hijacked to mean something else.
Despite not publicly moving away from what has been said about Sam*<p>Jessica Livingston's personal stake in OpenAI is maybe at most 0.1% or less and Paul Graham's, afaik, is 0.<p>So the bias doesn't seem as large as OP thinks<p>*<a href="https://xcancel.com/paulg/status/2041366050693173393" rel="nofollow">https://xcancel.com/paulg/status/2041366050693173393</a><p>And "toughness, adaptability, and determination"
>>> "ambition", frankly
Such suspicious phrasing lol. So you’re saying Paul Graham and his wife Jessica have 800 MILLION dollars worth of OpenAI stock, and that’s not so significant?
What is 0.1% of a trillion? I think that's quite a large number still.
Does Paul Graham no longer have a stake in Y Combinator?
Seems to be an unusually quiet post for something posted 3 hours ago.
My understanding is dang has said in the past they do some anti moderation(I’m sure he has a better term) for posts related to ycombinator. That is to say they moderate less and might, do not quote me here, even boost a tad. So upvoted story by a well reputed source even without many comments is likely to hang onto the front page for a bit.
Do you have something to say about it?
