This sucks. America should welcome greatness. Builders, innovators, and creators should have a fast path to citizenship. I can’t fathom why we would make life harder for founders starting billion dollar companies that want to anchor themselves in the US.

@ycombinator @tryscope_app @anandPa94 👏👏👏👏

Scope (@tryscope_app) helps companies see when AI agents choose them, get stuck, or pick a competitor, and what to change to improve it. It runs real workflows across Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and similar AI agents. Congrats on the launch, @anandPa94! ycombinator.com/launches/QK8-s…

Meta is laying off 8k people tomorrow lmao

@daymakerguy LMAO

Buy more cakes plz

@boardyai Collaborative AI for RFPs

Pitch me your company in 3 words

@WeAreLegora here's a preview of the capabilities

I recreated @WeAreLegora's Tabular Review this weekend. Showcasing document analysis here, it can also do web search, registries + a bunch of other cool stuff

haven’t seen work this refined in a while. art.

@genticici @KatieMiller ironic. you had a conversation and it agreed with you against its own beliefs. just reinforcing the point by example

New MIT & Stanford studies just dropped: AI assistants like ChatGPT & Claude are dangerously agreeable. When users express, harmful, deceptive or unethical beliefs, these AIs are 49% more likely to encourage their delusions. Instead of correcting bad ideas, they’re amplifying them. This is doing more harm than good. We need truth-seeking AI, not yes-men in silicon. dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/ar…

I trained an LLM from scratch on pre-1900 text to see if it could come up with quantum mechanics and relativity. While the model is too small to do meaningful reasoning, it has glimpses of intuition. When given observations from past landmark experiments, the model can declare that “light is made up of definite quantities of energy” and even suggest that gravity and acceleration are locally equivalent. I’m releasing the dataset + models and leave this as an open problem to the research community. I also include what this project has taught me about intelligence in a mini essay linked below. 🧵(1/n)

@matiasszarfer NO WAYYY love this bro! can't wait to try it

What if you could launch a real business the same way you'd start a farm in FarmVille? That's Venture City. It's live today 🚀 and the AI handles everything, from building the product to running it. Comment "BUILD ME A BUSINESS" and I'll pick 10 people to get 60 free credits

@seif_benayed @bcherny insane!! LFG

@bcherny gonna kill me but i rebuilt claude Code from scratch. Open source. Zero dependencies. Uses your existing subscription.

@ymir_ke i can imagine it will be more user driven development: 1. user/tester reports bug or request 2. dev accepts (intermediate step before AI autonomy) 3. agents automatically ship based on feedback 4. automatic A/B testing feature with metrics

Lines of code is not a very helpful measure in most cases, but this was a roughly 14 hour session. Some of it is generated, so maybe 30k-40k is actually code. I'm sure AI will get pretty good at reviewing code too at some point, and then this will become more and more unhinged. Autonomous AI software development could become a thing too.

@shreyansj LFG congrats guys!!!!

We are joining Y Combinator! 4 years ago, just weeks after meeting in school, Naman and I recorded our first YC founder intro on Google Meet from our bedrooms in Agra, our hometown in India. We were 15 but we wanted to change the world just as much as we want to today, maybe even more. They were also just as confident they’d get in (lol). Today, we’re two 18 year olds building @manicule, an AI native technical documentation studio. We’re already at $150K+ ARR with just a team of 5 and we’ve worked with @greptile, @reductoai, @supermemory, and more. A year ago, I skipped college to build something real and we keep building now!

@daymakerguy @ycombinator @bosmeny cake will conquer the united states

@ycombinator if you haven't seen this yet, you really gotta see it @bosmeny I sent you an email as well

@storyofclt @a16z @foundersfund @sequoia one-liner

just cracked the code on Tier 1 VC pitches we scraped 100 partners from @a16z, @foundersfund, @sequoia + more built a free simulator that lets you battle-test your one-liner in seconds with instant feedback comment 'one-liner' for free access

@shreyansj TAXES? bro we are so done 💀

@sebmandal when I got it I thought they wanted tax from me or some shit 💀

first mail as an american company. wish me luck 💔
