Personal update: I'm taking a leave of absence from YC to join Anthropic. I'll be working with @NotTomBrown on the compute team.
Powerful AI has the potential to improve the life of every human on earth and, as we enter the early stages of recursive self-improvement, availability of compute becomes one of the most important issues to solve.
I'm excited to get started 🚀

Every piece of advice is a reaction to something that came before.
"Validate your idea before you go all-in" was a reaction to MBAs raising millions of dollars based on nothing but a business plan.
Today, young builders take that advice and quickly "invalidate" every idea they come up with.
Now the missing ingredient is conviction 🤷♂️

I’m astonished more people aren’t raving about Tesla’s full self driving.
I no longer need to drive my car.
The only time I take control is to back into my garage because it’s down an awkward ramp.

It just drove from the Tesla dealership in San Francisco down to Palo Alto on the freeway and reversed into a supercharger parking lot, then back up to SF an hour later.
I didn’t touch the wheel a single time.
Unbelievable.

I just bought a Tesla Model Y
Full Self Driving is one of the most impressive pieces of technology I’ve ever experienced.
I now wish I’d got it a year ago.
