Sam Altman YC Startup School 2026 talk

by Vojtech: Sam Altman

Sam Altman just closed YC Startup School 2026 with a line that sticks: "the ceiling for what a startup can take on has never been higher." Two decades ago he was in YC's first batch, nobody. Now he's unpacking the OpenAI origin when AGI sounded like sci-fi, finding true believers, the safety scare that changed everything, and the raw pace of model progress. For first-timers and veterans alike, it's a whole reframe.
