YC is YC for hard tech. So grateful for the opportunity to build my dream company.

If you’re thinking of starting something, think big and then get the best support available.

This "journalist" seems to push a particular narrative, backing up very little with hard facts, or data..
tsk tsk @BBCWorld 🤨
Thank you, always! @elonmusk 🙏🏼

France and Germany now looking to join Italy in banning ChatGPT rather than focusing on how to build their own AI industry. This is what terminal cultural decline looks like. Not with a bang but a bureaucracy.

[Geoffrey Hinton @geoffreyhinton]

Caterpillars extract nutrients which are then converted into butterflies. People have extracted billions of nuggets of understanding and GPT-4 is humanity's butterfly.

My favorite question in 2023:

What is ignored by the media -- but will be studied by historians?

Here's the 9 best examples:

@DavidSacks Hahaha, wow.. so ridiculous... But also, quite the compliment for you guys..

[Whitney D. Baker (he/him) @WB_EdTechEvo]

Big conversations need to be had about (public) education; the why and how, for what, are now more important than ever.

[Mckay Wrigley @mckaywrigley]

Greg Brockman (@gdb) of OpenAI just demoed GPT-4 creating a working website from an image of a sketch from his notebook.

It’s the coolest thing I’ve *ever* seen in tech.

If you extrapolate from that demo, the possibilities are endless.

A glimpse into the future of computing.

Ignoring the reality of new technology would be a shame and a detriment to students and our future generations. https://t.co/gneZlz724q

@brookhouser He makes some very, very, valid arguments; ones that surely both you and I have discussed and or heard, many times in the last 5 to 10 years...

[Paul Graham @paulg]

The best new ideas always have unanticipated benefits. So it's stupid to require people who want to do new things to enumerate the benefits beforehand. The best you can do is choose smart people and then trust their intuitions about what's worth exploring.

Something I taught my 11 yo: If you're asked a question in school, on a test for example, that's a clue about how to solve it. It means it can be solved using techniques you already know. This is a difference between school and the real world.

[Paul Graham @paulg]

"Never give up" is facile advice. Backtracking is part of most ambitious undertakings. A better version would be "Never give up more than you need to." Never let a setback panic you into backtracking too far.
