Wait, are you trying to say something about Paul Graham, or something about Sam Altman? Because one of those wrote that essay, and the other heads YC right now.

You had a point somewhere up around "Peter Thiel is not an employee of Sam Altman [but rather a partner that can be let go of at any time for any reason]" but what happened to the rest of your comment?

Thomas is one of the more intellectually honest guys I've met. I'm hopeful that he's still looking through the evidence presented, corroborating the facts contained therein, and coming to his own conclusions based on evidence. That's a huge info dump and I would be charitable enough to give someone time to process all that because there are quite a few pieces to put together, but it looks pretty damning when you add everything up. You might discount the video guy for having done ACORN videos or something, but it's hard to look at the FEC data and the video of the protest and not see that it presents a rather compelling case.

To be fair, I won't claim that's the last word, either, and I'm interested if there are any breaks in that chain of logic which I've missed. Whatever faults I may have, I'm always open to revising my positions based on new evidence and I am not enthusiastic about either Trump or Hillary. But if you can get people for stuff like that on video and corroborate it, I will want to see federal charges explored for whoever is truly responsible, regardless of party affiliation.

I will defer to your knowledge of YC's corporate legal structure on that point, but I'd note that the rest appears to be left untouched at present.
