    It always makes me ridiculously proud to be a human when I see a 747 flying low. We did that.

    If you are successful, it’s almost always because some people went out of their way to help you. You have a moral obligation to pay it forward.

    We are accepting all 15,000 companies that applied to Startup School! Excited to provide a community to so many startups—it was critical for me when I was starting a company. Proud to see the YC team figure out how to turn a mistake into something awesome.

    Released post about our progress and goals with Five: . My personal favorite: this chart of progress vs humans to date. When creating it, was stunned by how linear our MMR (Dota skill) growth has been. Means roughly exponential progress. Same as 1v1 bot.

    I walked away from YC demo day thinking: "holy cow, these founders are out of my league" half expecting them to be like the bumbling, clumsy kids we were in 2009. So many people were previously super deep in what their building today.

    Trends in startups at Demo Day: More AI, more biotech, more companies from outside the US. Will the next Airbnb be in Nigeria? Could be.

    thank you suhail!

    After meeting folks at Open AI, it dawned on me that it's the closest I've seen to an experiment to rival Xerox Parc. Teams have significant autonomy + are encouraged to pick hard, ambitious problems. Disruptive in that, it has core focus to guide them: AGI.

    If you notice something at your company below standards and don't fix it or make sure someone else does, you have set a new standard. Complaining about it does not count as fixing it. If someone gets upset/tells you to stay in your lane, they've set an even worse new standard.
