This blog post's title and the highlighted line are darkly funny when you consider Altman is known for dating way younger men.
Lachy Groom, a tech exec who got a job at a Y Combinator company right out of high school, then dated 29-year-old Altman when he was just 19, gets a 'special thanks.'

![Thanks to Lachy Groom and Nick Sivo for reading drafts of this.
[1] Sometimes, a 4th option is being a VC. This is usually a mistake— the best way to become a VC is not to grind your way up the ladder from junior associate intern. Even if you want to be a VC, you're much better off starting or joining a startup, and getting partner offers when you're 28. Plus, good founders want to work with an investor that has operational experience.
[2] Interestingly, no one is ever considering going into academia.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:tegh4bfkyn3wsycl4yrtjveb/bafkreigqa7omjzyzid2zittuagfa65mkmrxnjqqv6ckacyzpc2kik36fcu@jpeg)

Certainly the most ADHD Onion Headline of all time
Idk if this is the quintessential Onion headline but I've thought of this at least once a week for almost a decade

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

I love paying human artists and I hate gen AI 🩵
I'm not here to fight about whether or not AI is ethical (I've made my decision and I doubt I'm gonna change yours.) I'm just here to talk about what I and many other artists have been dealing with as we adjust to a new media landscape.

Gave the second to last turn some love, adding fences and a chevron sign to help signal the player as everything starts to turn into white noise with all the snowy textures on everything.
I am also prototyping a small shortcut along a spire roof! It isn't final, but I'm def gonna try and keep it in

I'm obviously no Hollywood money man, but Stranger Things would have been a lot cuter if it referenced mid-80s brands that no longer existed, rather than characters excitedly drinking Gatorade with the label turned to the camera

It's kinda depressing watching the last season of Stranger Things, knowing that Millie Bobby Brown had a team on set to keep David Harbour away from her.

People who complain about pineapple on pizza as a personality trait deserve to be in the same prison as those who loudly proclaim Die Hard to be a Xmas movie.

Father, into your hands I commend my spirit
Father, into your hands
Why have you forsaken me?
In your eyes forsaken me

In your eyes forsaken me
In your thoughts forsaken me
In your heart forsaken me, oh
Don’t stop me now
I’m having such a good time
I’m having a ball
Don’t stop me now
If you wanna have a good time
Just give me a call

If I could wish one small thing for @aewontv.bsky.social, it would be somebody taking up the Mike Tenay mantle to explain where a wrestler came from, their history, why theyre important, etc. The current commentary team do their best, but a dedicated analyst would do wonders. #AEWFullGear

This fucking government needs to be rolled.
The Government is banning new patients from being prescribed the most common form of puberty blocker and is explicitly aligning NZ's future policy on this matter to the UK's. PR below.

One highlight of my career, after sending her the 3DO Doom video, Rebecca Heineman leaked our video early!
And it was an honor to have a Doom port dev leak a nearly finished video even though I had to reach out and say “thank you so much but, uh… not yet?”
