He's not just out of touch he's actively pushing pretty horrific shit like the abolition of the state. He also agrees with Balaji about everything and therefore should not be trusted.
"Abolition of the state"? In the very article this thread is about he pushes for regulation against big tech, that does not sound like it could be achieved by abolition of the state

What’s ironic is that Michael Seibel has discussed many times on the YC podcast that you should avoid building whatever’s hot for VCs because their attention tends to change every year but you’ll be stuck building for a decade. 2020 was remote work, 2021 was web3, now we have the big LLM boom. Honestly it seems there’s a lot of advantages to “riding a wave” and a lot of advantages to being contrarian. But if raising…
On the other hand, I can see how basically any product can have some useful features backed by AI. I never felt that with web3.

Here is Michael and Dalton talking couple of weeks ago about how new technologies create new businesses. Basically starting with the technology and then finding problems. The very opposite of what YC has been promoting all these years. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxjPgGLVJSg

Without published open source data, it will be hard to call those models open source.
"let’s prioritize open source models" Without published open source data, it will be hard to call those models open source.
"This year, we’ll fund more than 500 companies out of 50,000 applications, and almost all of them are related to AI in some way." So, what this means: that in 2024, if you want to get VC capital, your startup must be related to AI.
I love the constant flex of their tiny acceptance rate. "We only accept 1% of applicants. Btw everyone should apply!" The collective man hours wasted on appe every year for what is essentially a lottery is insane.
My guess would be: 90% of applicants are foreigners, maybe a fair bit of spam.
The rest 10% are domestic, and of those that were chosen, there's a lot of Stanford alma mater.

Haven’t seen any “Web 3” shills for a long time, gone right out of style it has!
Scroll back far enough on the X timelines of a few AI evangelists/specialists/advisers: oop, there they are. NFTs, Ethereum, altcoins.
