@quionie @hii_mohit @zach_yadegari I mean, like what else is he gonna do after a while think about this humanly possible anyone who just has nothing but time on their hands will eventually get bored. Especially if they don’t have any other purpose in life.

@hii_mohit @zach_yadegari there was something he said at the beginning where he was sitting around and trying to just “enjoy life” but he got too bored. his brain isn’t wired that way. this is what a lot of successful people have - the urge to continue to build, create, and grow.

I built a free investors directory for founders. I found people selling publicly available data behind paywalls and calling it a product, so I built the same thing, better categorised, properly searchable, with cold DM templates, and made it completely free. 1,000 founders have already used it before this announcement. If you're a founder looking for capital, this is for you. If you know a founder looking for capital, send this to them. 🔗 hackangel.xyz/investors

YC has extended S26 applications until May 25th. It's because of the massive opportunity for founders: OpenAI offering $2m in tokens for all companies in the batch. Need a last minute application review? My DMs are open. I'll try to get to as many as possible over the weekend
Jared Friedman@snowmaker

OpenAI is offering $2M in tokens for every company in the summer '26 batch. We're not sure if we'll do this again, so we've extended the deadline to apply to the summer batch to May 25.

I'm not gonna lie, the @Meta layoffs are some of the most dystopian I've ever seen. They got told to work from home, they were sent the emails at 4AM in the morning. Those who weren't impacted have software on their computer that tracks their every move, preparing AI to take their job as well. They're literally training the AI that will eliminate their position as well. Meanwhile, Meta is raking in RECORD PROFITS. I am a massive, unapologetic AI enthusiast. Yet, this is NOT the future I had in mind. I wish for Meta to crash and burn. This is not the way. Literally nobody benefits from this.

We're going to see a large number of new startups based on all these META layoffs... ... super talented people being cut because, well, AI is making folks twice as efficient, and a giant data center is considered a better investment than [ checks notes ], talented people.
George Pu@TheGeorgePu

Meta cut 8,000 people today. A survivor wrote about a teammate who slept 4 hours a night for months. Commits at 3am. Commits at 6am. IC4. Strong reviews. No PIP. Cut anyway. Working harder doesn't move you up the layoff list. You don't survive by being valuable to them. You survive by not needing them.

@AnahitaEsmaeil3 @andrewchen @onetimeitsmine SwiftUI + Supabase stack right now. Lean setup intentionally so we can ship insanely fast. Realtime social/event coordination, media, chat, location, notifications, all moving pretty aggressively at the moment.

Tokenmaxxing confirmed
Tyler Bosmeny@bosmeny

A mic drop moment @ycombinator tonight @sama just offered $2M in OpenAI tokens to EVERY YC startup in the current batch in exchange for equity Just like Yuri Milner offering to invest in every startup back when Sam was a YC partner I can't wait to see what's unlocked when you let the most driven, creative and formidable founders tokenmaxx

A founder DMed me today. Raising $1M pre-seed. Outside the US. No investor network. Been pitching for 4 months. Zero term sheets. I asked him one question: “How many investors did you talk to before you needed the money?” He said zero. That’s the whole problem. Investors don’t fund strangers. Build the relationship before the raise. Comment SPRINT.👇
