Despite not publicly moving away from what has been said about Sam*

Jessica Livingston's personal stake in OpenAI is maybe at most 0.1% or less and Paul Graham's, afaik, is 0.

So the bias doesn't seem as large as OP thinks

And "toughness, adaptability, and determination" >>> "ambition", frankly

Seems to be an unusually quiet post for something posted 3 hours ago.

My understanding is dang has said in the past they do some anti moderation(I’m sure he has a better term) for posts related to ycombinator. That is to say they moderate less and might, do not quote me here, even boost a tad. So upvoted story by a well reputed source even without many comments is likely to hang onto the front page for a bit.

What is 0.1% of a trillion? I think that's quite a large number still.

OpenAI’s last post-money valuation was less than a trillion. They’ll probably cross that point in the future, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

Does Paul Graham no longer have a stake in Y Combinator?

Such suspicious phrasing lol. So you’re saying Paul Graham and his wife Jessica have 800 MILLION dollars worth of OpenAI stock, and that’s not so significant?
