According to 1M AI News monitoring,
After The New Yorker’s in-depth investigation mentioned him by name,
Paul Graham posted two responses addressing the controversy related to Sam Altman.
He first refuted the narrative in the article about Sam leaving Y Combinator. The New Yorker stated that Graham privately believed that Sam’s departure from YC was related to distrust among the partners; Graham clarified that this was not the case, reaffirming that YC did not "fire/remove" Sam, but asked him to choose between YC and OpenAI. #Gate广场四月发帖挑战
