What happens when you ask an AI to generate 'Human Evolution.'

This is terrifying.

Few things hold folks back more than the belief they are “too advanced” to do the humbling, low status work required to create something out of nothing.

From what I have seen, rather than believing you are so experienced you can skip the grind, it’s better to fully embrace it.

'You’ve got to start with the customer experience and work back to the technology — not the other way around. I’ve probably made this mistake more than anybody, and I’ve got the scar tissue to prove it.'

-Steve Jobs

My 3-year-old picking up a tiny Spider-Man figurine in the kid’s room of this Airbnb, his brow furrowed, he turns it over in his hand a few times, examining it. “What is it?” he whispers to himself. He stares at it for a long time then whispers, his voice shakey: “I…love him.”

Congrats to the first class of Voyager Scholarship recipients. I’m excited to see the good they can do in communities around the world

This should cheer you up Faye Talbott 😷💙🇺🇦. My friend went to Wales and checked into her Air BnB and look who was waiting for her….

The trend toward cycling in cities is like the trend toward remote work: more like a dam of pent-up demand bursting than a gradual growth.

This was the most common investor criticism of Airbnb early on

Garry Tan was one of the first people to help us in 2008. His mix of design sensibility, technical know-how, and passion for helping tech founders stood out from the very beginning; traits he shares with PG. I can’t wait to see what he dreams up for YC. ycombinator.com/blog/welcome-h…

What people don't realize about Garry is that he's also a visionary. I don't often use that word, but no other will do. He has a plan not just for the future of YC but for the future of startups and investing. So the world is going to get even better for founders.

Jessica and I are delighted that Garry Tan is going to be YC's new boss. He's a hacker, a YC founder, was a YC partner for 5 years, started a very successful investment firm, built his own brand on Youtube, and is one of the best liked people in SV.

Next year, I'll be going back to Y Combinator as President and CEO.

It's a one in ten billion lifetimes kind of opportunity— YC gave me my start, and I'm deeply grateful to the community.

Welcome home, Garry Tan 陈嘉兴.

Ron Conway in action. I've never known anyone who takes more notes. He arrives bearing piles of notes, and leaves with even more that he's taken during the conversation.

Yes! Spelled Blecharczyk right on the first try!
