Y Combinator's @garrytan says he wants his new project GBrain to be the Postgres for agents:

"The thing I realized is, a human can only keep 7, plus or minus 3, things in their head. But a computer with an LLM can keep about three Harry Potter books in its head."

"Then, when you think about what most computer systems are, you should think of the Library of Alexandria — thousands, maybe millions, of books. It's even bigger than that. It's the whole internet."

"You could basically take all the relevant info about customers, or any person that anyone at the company has ever even met. You can have that in like, 100,000 or a million markdown files that comprises everything that the business is. That's basically what GBrain can do."

"The magic moment for GBrain is basically being able to take any 'book' that exists in your entire business, and making sure the 3 books that really matter for the thing you're trying to do are loaded."

"And that's basically ASI. You don't have to write software anymore. You can just straight-up use Hermes agent or OpenClaw plus GBrain."

I’m starting a livestream series on agentic social analytics

a lot of the conversation around AI + social intelligence still happens behind vendor panels, sponsor dynamics, and tool demos that stop right before the useful part: how the system actually works

i don’t think this stuff should be gatekept

so 1–2x/month, I’ll be going live to talk through listening systems you can build yourself: what signals to collect, how to structure social data, where agents fit, and how to turn raw online behavior into monitoring, clustering, insights, and strategy

i’ll also cover social media research, platform observations, weird patterns I’m noticing, and tools/workflows i'm building & worth paying attention to

first stream: building your own agentic youtube social analytics + listening system

@Danhightower do you only parrot the all in the podcast or do you have your own opinions about the industry?

@michaelmiraflor Spirit of the Machine, hear my prayer,

Guide this missile, hold it true,

Let it part their steel and weak armour,

And crack their cowardly skin,

And smite the foe from the Omnissiah's sight.

is it just me or does the YC brand work negatively for most founders and builders in top techcircles? I would never trust, hire or work with anyone from YC class

its just kind of a big grift at this point or is there something im not seeing?

[Nicolas Dessaigne @dessaigne]

Today is the last day to apply to @ycombinator Summer 2026.

Applying to YC changed the trajectory of Algolia, and my life. We were two French founders with a search API and a dream. YC gave us the network, the clarity, and the urgency to build something real.

If you’re on the fence: just apply. The worst that can happen is you don't get in. The best? Everything changes.

@tryramp was one of the top brands in @milkkarten Link in Bio survey on what account exemplifies great social. so i ran our audience intelligence tool on their Twitter account to understand their audience

we started from Ramp's X account and mapped over 19 million relationships from who their followers followed. we identified over relevant 8,400 accounts their audience follows, 47 communities and 6 unique audience personas

here's what their audience actually like:

Frontier ML Builders — deep learning researchers, open-source model contributors, and agent infrastructure developers. anchored by Clem Delangue and François Chollet. analytical, fiercely curious, and treating rationalist philosophy and weekend coding experiments as part of the same pursuit

Hard Money Populists — alternative market strategies, hard money convictions, and populist political commentary blurred into a unified worldview. Robert F. Kennedy Jr and zerohedge set the daily tone. off-screen it shows up in ancestral health, solitary hikes, and self-sufficiency

Indie Interface Crafters — component-driven design, interactive web interfaces, and bootstrapped software businesses. following Emil Kowalski for animation inspiration and shadcn for reusable components. building profitable solo products instead of chasing venture funding

Blue-Chip Macro Realists — major political developments, enterprise technology, and mainstream sports sitting side by side as daily public record. The New York Times and LeBron James anchor a worldview that tracks globally established institutions and icons

Rationalist Venture Backers — early-stage investing, industrial manufacturing, and rationalist philosophy. Bill Gurley on venture mechanics, Trae Stephens channeling capital into defense and physical infrastructure. personal optimization and dense economic texts fill the downtime

Onchain Protocol Technicians — token speculation, smart contract security, and blockchain engineering. Toly building high-speed infrastructure while samczsun hunts vulnerabilities in the code. a tense mix of rigorous engineering and sharp financial nerve

what stood out: Ramp is a finance platform but their audience isn't "finance people." it's six distinct cultural communities that each relate to money, technology, and independence in fundamentally different ways. a single content strategy aimed at "finance professionals" would miss most of them

the full report with all 47 communities, persona breakdowns, messaging recommendations, and the accounts inside each cluster is explorable here:
