“I’m delighted to announce #PeterThiel is joining #YC as one of the (now 10!) part-time partners.

In addition to founding #PayPal and #Palantir and being the first investor in #Facebook, Peter has been involved with many of the most important #technology companies of the last 15 years, both personally and through #FoundersFund, and the founders of those companies will generally tell you he has been their best source of #strategic #advice.” — Sam Altman, 2015.

Compare the sign on blog post (Altman) to the tweet (pg as shown).

When you take capital from #Thiel, then only realise a decade later it wasn’t a good idea. At the time when this was announced I thought, “Oh shit #PG, don’t do it”. Then history.

It’s the lure of capital. You get covered in the deeds of these shitty founders (Thiel) and you have to back track, knowing it was blood money.

#Gemini is correct:
#Xi would wipe the floor with #Trump in a physical contest

unfortunately, the same is true when comes to the corresponding governments
. a government led by Trump could never win against a government led by Xi

and the #American people will pay a dear price

also, #Xi does not rape teenage girls because they look like his daugther
. Xi, while a ruthless despot who violates human rights, is not a fucking piece of shit rapist and sexual batterer

So #Ohio feels a bit like East Trumpistan. We stopped at a gas station and went inside. In this one photo there are so many gems I had to isolate a few. I couldn’t get all of it in just one photo. #trump #merica

More than a quarter of all computer programming jobs in #Merica have vanished in the past two years

Possibly signalling artificial intelligence AI is replacing workers?
