> don't aspire to be like Altman

And don’t aspire to be like those who saw what he is but made peace with it in exchange for silver.




You mean all of the YC management, including PG?


Well, anyone who will flex their spine in every (im)possible position as required of them, just to get even more money and power.

I could understand that from someone with an empty stomach. But so many people doing it when their pockets are already overflowing is exactly the kind of rot that degrades an entire society.

We're all just seeing the results so much better now that they can't even be bothered to pretend they ever more than this.

Later edit: The way this submission fell ~400th spots after just two hours despite having 1250 points and 550 comments, had its comments flagged and shuffled around to different submissions as soon as they touched too close to YC&Co is a good mirror of how today's society works.


It's an addiction. There's no amount of money that will be enough, there's no amount of power that will be enough. They'll burn the world for another hit, and we know that because we've been watching them do it for 50 years now.


Yes.


Yes. Especially them.


Yes.


Hey now, that's not very curious of you. /s
