okay, but pg is one of the chief engineers of our current hell. sam altman‘s yc-funded startup crashed and burned, and paul put him in charge of the fund. to this day he’s happily funding every shitty, exploitative ai company that slithers across his desk. two tweets are not a redemption arc

Ehh they have the money that once they get started they can hire enough good UXers and Devs to out compete the startup boys. Just need them to actually want to.

accepting the shift feels freeing in a way despite the uncertainty. i'm very grateful that having one startup recently under my belt has given me a much stronger sense of product vision and development, outside of the software dev part. idk what i'd do without that sensibility right now.

So you have VC's backing startup tech companies, and also backing calorie supplements and nicotine companies, selling their products to those same tech companies to keep their workers alive.

Circular economy indeed. Company towns next?
