Given the impact some YC startups are having on society at large I think a better question than "How" is "Why". Do we really want Flock to become even more powerful? Even in the cases where the answer is "yes&quot

Short answer, IRL. Aside from "PG's blog" this is a community. People wish each other happy holidays, offer support to one another, challenge each other etc... In that sense it transcends both PG and YC. The internet is not

I understand what you mean but I do not think the answer is to disengage. They will not stop. HN is an amazing place with brilliant people. I have been wrong so many times here and I own it; the amazing thing is the grace I have been shown

I said this a few days ago and got down voted to hell. It amazes me how HN likes to abdicate YC of all wrong doing or negative outcomes from the companies they fund. YC/PG is also the reason that @sama is where he is.

The features don't really matter here IMO; where does the PA function live? Whoever runs it sees intent streams. If that goes to a startup then the planning, coordination etc.. is ad free. I don't think Meta wants to live in that

> blame at the feet of YC, it would be just as bad without them. I disagree, I think YC is fully to blame here as are the other grifters of the current administration.

This is a very good point, I did not mean literally in that sense; only in that they are offering "the privileged" exclusive access to information that will further entrench their positions. I apologize for not being clearer in my

So basically now YC is looking to emulate Trump and his "pay for early access to truth social posts" ? re: https://time.com/article/2026/08/13/trump-sued-truth-social-...

This was hard to read but most of it is earned, so thank you for taking the time to comment. 1. Alister Martin is a real physician and that seat is a seeded placeholder using a real person's name, adding AI-native and customizing weigh

You are NOT at all being rude. I actually feel like I am hitting the jackpot today with this and the previous feedbacks so I would also like to thank you. I would like to provide some explanation - 0. In prison you cannot always type thing

This terrifies me but I suspect you are correct. My abject obsession with not being viewed as less fuels my drive to create, earn, produce. I may have to learn just to be. To sit with myself, and just be OK with being.

Excellent point, I should have expanded to the previous; 5 years or even better post and pre covid.

Yes, but I believe (perhaps incorrectly) that the is easy push back for most things. My question stands, is this rate of change something that the commenter could foresee. If not; it sands to reason that we should not assume the next leap

Ask HN: How does your preferred AI handle questions we are not allowed to ask?

Honest question, did you foresee the last 2 or 3 years happening as fast as they have? Edit: In terms of AI/LLM's etc..

This is so closely related to a comment I just made https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49470026 that I am going to just risk and repost it. > This hit me hard, I have been thinking about this a lot lately. I'm not

Thats totally fair, and TBH - I am also very concerned for my wellbeing as well; I and many others are not doing so well because, in my case I no longer see this "vapid" state of existence as ephermial. I have been reading more an

Why and from what? Because you feel my statement was incoherent or because you believe the general conceit is flawed? Edit: I am not in anyway trying to be obtuse or reductive, I simply want to understand your statement. Apologies if it co

This hit me hard, I have been thinking about this a lot lately. I'm not sure it's what makes "us human" its what makes humans (us) better than other species. It was intelligence, this was used to create distinction betw

This is insanely awesome man; I turned the entire SF gov into an AI Gov. but this has really humbled me; great work dude.

This is something I have been working on. One of the main issues my users have run into is navigation. The Gov. websites often are not very user friendly; so its hard and time consuming to navigate to and apply for the correct services. To

I do not, because it was; in fact a flame war and correctly flagged.

No, this was an ignorant comment made from a position of anger. I apologize and will try to do better in the future.

You are a coward; which is why you cannot use your name or identity and only feel comfortable insulting people online because it makes you feel like a big bad keyboard warrior. I feel bad for you because not only is your argument irrational
