SpaceXAI and @cursor_ai are now working closely together to create the world’s best coding and knowledge work AI.

The combination of Cursor’s leading product and distribution to expert software engineers with SpaceX’s million H100 equivalent Colossus training supercomputer will allow us to build the world’s most useful models.

Cursor has also given SpaceX the right to acquire Cursor later this year for $60 billion or pay $10 billion for our work together.

Delve, the YC-backed compliance startup that allegedly faked hundreds of SOC 2 and ISO 27001 audits, is now accused of stealing a fellow YC company's IP. According to Part 2 of DeepDelver's Substack series, Delve took SimStudio's code, removed attribution, rebranded it "Pathways," and started closing $50k-$200k+ enterprise deals with it while telling Sim's founders the ROI wasn't there for a partnership. Here's the breakdown:

> Sim (YC X25) signed on as a Delve compliance client for $15k covering SOC 2 Type 1, Type 2, and HIPAA. CEO Karun Kaushik personally promised to handle onboarding

> During that same April 2025 sales call, Karun posted a SimStudio link internally with the note "ui inspo for pathways"

> Linear tickets referencing "sim studio" under the Pathways project started appearing that same month. An internal Notion doc titled "Sim Studio Port Plan" lists specific folders to copy, including blocks, components, the executor, tools, handlers, and database schema
Delve's production code still contains SimStudio references and docs[.]simstudio[.]ai URLs

> When Sim's CEO @Emkara tried to sell Delve a licensing deal, Karun said it didn't have "high enough ROI rn" and stopped responding

> Sim had no idea Delve was selling their product as Pathways until DeepDelver's Part 1 article. Emir confirmed over email that no white-label or attribution agreement existed

> Leaked pitch decks show Delve selling Pathways to Brex, Anthropic, Gusto, and Notion. The Notion deal was $50k+

> The Brex deck promises Pathways will make their GRC team "AI native" and includes a 50%+ partnership discount

> The Anthropic deck, dated January 9, 2025, proposes a 1-2 week PoC with named Delve staff building custom Pathways workflows

> Delve outsourced Pathways maintenance to a dev shop in Bangladesh

> Sim's open source license required attribution. Delve removed it, told clients they "built it from the ground up," and did not disclose Sim's code during Series A due diligence

game is game

[Dris Elamri @elamri]

we have probably rejected over 500k+ in payouts at @instinct_inc

for context this mf spammed 1600+ unrelated vids on 200 accs & claimed we owe 100k

we will NEVER pay creators for bs content that clearly does nothing for the brand

i personally rejected 80k of his payouts & paid him ~2.7k for decent vids

most creator programs fail bcuz companies r retarded and dont have the balls to not pay for shit content

if ur a company i recommend u first run a campaign elsewhere to understand the level of slop produced by 99% of programs

take this as a psa for all grifters or companies tryna run ugc/clipping

game is game
