@ycombinator's new batch W24 coming in HOT! Always impressed by the talent of each new generation of YC founders, AND by the quality of humans within the group. Grateful to @vouch_group @brexHQ @deel @Finta and ArtisanAI (W24) for our commitment to building community. LFG!!!

LA is such a vibe! Great time with the LA @ycombinator community sharing stories about surfing and how the weather is better here than in SF. We did briefly talk about insurance too 🙃 Thank you @deel and @pulley for co-sponsoring with @vouch_group! Where should we go next????

One of the best talks on AI over the past year was at Burning Man. @burningman

We’re grateful to share this recording with permission from Sam Altman (@sama technologist, CEO of OpenAI & creator of ChatGPT) and Android Jones (@Android_Jones ) talking about “The Future of Art in the Age of AI.”

It’s real, it’s raw, and it could have only happened in Black Rock City.

Afterward Sam texted Android and I, and said that he took notes from this conversation, sent them to the OpenAi team, and that it changed their path forward.
