I’ve known Phoebe Gates online since she was a teen, so I might be biased but nothing in the Bloomberg reporting shows she personally engaged in wrongdoing. Phia’s browser extension opening background tabs and inserting affiliate codes comes from technical implementation choices made by engineers, not from Phoebe herself. She isn’t a software developer, she didn’t write the extension, and there is no evidence she directed anyone to override other affiliates or manipulate commissions. What happened is exactly the kind of over‑aggressive optimization that crops up in early‑stage tech products, especially in the messy world of affiliate tracking where scripts, libraries, and automated logic can behave in ways founders never intended. The reporting makes clear that independent researchers discovered the issue, Capital One Shopping flagged similar behavior, and Phia acknowledged the violation and fixed it. That sequence is consistent with a technical mistake, not a deliberate scheme. If Phoebe had intended to deceive, the company wouldn’t have immediately admitted the problem and patched the code. It’s far more plausible that she learned about the issue at the same moment the public did, then ensured her team corrected it. Her broader behavior reinforces this interpretation. She runs Phia like a normal startup founder—negotiating frugally with influencers, declining inflated rates, and trying to build a sustainable business rather than exploiting systems. Nothing about her conduct suggests someone orchestrating a covert affiliate‑fraud operation. The allegation is about code, not character, and the code was fixed as soon as the problem surfaced. The fairest conclusion is that Phoebe Gates did nothing wrong. A technical misconfiguration occurred, it was corrected, and there is no evidence she knew about it, intended it, or benefited from it in any deliberate way. If you want, I can also expand this into a more forceful version or reshape it into a legal‑style defense.

Phia — the buzzy shopping app co-founded by Bill Gates' daughter, Phoebe — is claiming credit for online sales it didn’t actually drive, a Bloomberg investigation found. Read our exclusive story: bloom.bg/4wErGxe 📷️: Dia Dipasupil/Getty Images

would love a new desktop agent super app - lets me switch harnesses and models and multiplex across them - makes it easy to move memory and context - can orchestrate between models ( use Fable as a planner but a lower cost model for daily driver ) - can retroactively look at usage and optimize for cost / better results

For every 1 filing created with AI that has a problematic hallucination, how many do you think were created with AI and zero hallucinations? I place the over under at 1,000

@steipete consumer / mobile ai has become so good (including codex in the chatgpt app), so the bar is very high. i think this app can be fixed with a little imagination, user research, and focus on a killer feature. good luck improving it!

Was thinking if I should highlight this tweet or not, but it’s a masterclass in the amount of vitriol people face when working on open source. Is the app great yet? No. It’s a start. It was built by the community. Getting the iOS and Android apps working with secure pairing and push notifications - and getting both through App Review -took a surprising amount of work. OpenClaw wasn’t acquired by OpenAI and isn’t an OpenAI product. It’s an open, independent project under the OpenClaw Foundation. OpenAI sponsors the project’s token usage; I work there. Cristian, your tweet was just one of ~30 I woke up to today. I’d genuinely love your help making it great. Attention is still the scarcest resource. I’d rather spend mine encouraging people who build.

imagine getting acquired by @OpenAI, get unlimited AI tokens and still drop this slop abomination

Hi, I'm Sergio Garcia. Head of Operations at Corgi. I built Dataroom for Corgi after we got tired of paying premium prices for basic data room functionality while running our own startup. I created this X account specifically for this, but you can also reach me on LinkedIn if you have any questions. I can answer to any wording or coding decisions in the project.
nico laqua@nico_laqua

As you can see in the comparison below, the code is ours and different from Papermark's. We used several existing softwares as style references when building it (PaperMark is pretty much a copy of DocSend if you put them side by side). Originally, we built Dataroom internally because we didn't want to keep paying $$ for simple features. Figured other startups felt the same way, so we decided to offer it to people around us instead of everyone giving Dropbox a ton of money for basic stuff. Looking back, we should've leaned more into our own language and visual choices instead of taking cues from existing products in the space and that's on us. Regarding Marc's note, I get that this stings since we're putting out something mostly free that competes with his SaaS. I'd be mad too. But "stole my enterprise-code" is a different claim than "copied my style," and what he's saying just isn't true. Calling it theft when the code itself doesn't back that up isn't a good read of what happened. Sorry for the stress this caused regardless. This wasn't our intent, and we'll stay focused on building products that are genuinely useful.

Similar copy on two peripheral pages (nothing in the core product loop) is quite different from the accusation of "stealing enterprise grade code" for a tool we made ourselves in house. I made dataroom on my own, document sharing is nothing new - we simply were tired of spending a lot of money on dropbox (almost $1k/month), made an internal tool, and shared it so everyone would stop wasting money.

Sorry for the delayed response to this, I just woke up: The team that made dataroom has stated that they did not use any of papermark’s code and that dataroom was made from scratch with inspiration from existing document sharing softwares, and that this post’s allegations of us stealing code are false. We will do an audit of our code to see if anyone else’s code was used at all, we don’t stand for using open source code without attribution, open source is great and we’re supporters at Corgi. I also directly messaged Marc and even though he’s competitive we’re not exactly launching this mostly free product to make a lot of money, but based upon our team’s representations and the information we have on hand his allegations here are false; we will investigate further though and publish the results of our investigation on our website for everyone to see.
Marc Seitz — oss/acc@mfts0

Hey Nico, It looks like you didn't vibe code your data room but stole it from Papermark's open source and enterprise-licensed code. We demand you take this copyright and license infringing product down immediately. It's not moving fast and breaking things, it's fraud. It makes the rest of your business questionable and the YC community look terrible. cc: @garrytan @snowmaker @ycombinator

Ivan Burazin@ivanburazin·
50% of recent YC startups don't have an AWS account. Because it isn't the default anymore for every use case. Inference goes to the neo clouds. Hosting goes to Vercel or Render. Agent workloads come to us. The cloud market is growing faster than the hyperscalers, and they're losing market share to companies most people haven't even heard of. Someone predicted AWS would be less than 10% of the total cloud market share eventually. It is still growing in absolute terms. But they are being lapped by the overall market.
