That's why Sam Altman and co. are lobbying to effectively ban AI startups from competing with them, right?

Nice PR attempt. Not falling for it.

Got me there, peepeepoopoo47.

Sam Altman is no longer affiliated with YCombinator.

Don't PG and Jessica have an investment in OpenAI? I think YC also counts it as one of investee companies. Jessica was one of the founding members. (based on a bit of googling)

If openai were a public company, the amount of shilling YC folks do for OpenAI would have to carry a disclaimer about being an investor.

Doesn't matter. He's still part of the same tech oligarch social circles, and the way they're all suddenly trying to cozy up to regulators is absolutely disgusting.
