12: Y Combinator
YC changed the startup ecosystem--maybe the whole tech industry--more than anything else over the past two decades. and the impact on many people's lives (including mine) has been astonishing.

what a happy photo. https://t.co/SVqKB8lT1E
Today is @ycombinator's 20th birthday. Thank you, @paulg, @jesslivingston, @tlbtlbtlb, and Robert Morris, for creating this! You've changed the trajectory of thousands of founders' lives, and they have gone on to change the world.

we trained a new model that is good at creative writing (not sure yet how/when it will get released). this is the first time i have been really struck by something written by AI; it got the vibe of metafiction so right.

PROMPT:
Please write a metafictional literary short story…
One thing I think about a lot is that models are optimized for coding and math.

But they could be trained to do a lot of things that we just assume AI does badly. Like writing coherent fiction with a satisfying arc, for example. https://t.co/VMpzVCGQYJ
I can digest AI slop images fine, but AI "creative writing " is repulsive to me in a way that hurts my stomach

Arguably, the only thing this post does well is demonstrate that AI can't replace good writing. https://t.co/iPpDBgorwG pic.twitter.com/JcVhjdt4Qu

The cool thing about people who think AI has any capacity for anything creative is that they are just freely admitting they have no taste no soul and no ability to understand, even at the simplest level, what art is. https://t.co/Hjq8RgdX5f

ai is not a fucking artist, stop using ai for creating art, anywhere i see ai is used in music im skipping it forever. music is a craft and magic that only humans can make and no one else https://t.co/JZEwe1wFla

I’ve long complained about the soulless quality of AI writing. It seems, like many of the limitations of the technology before, that it may quickly become a thing of the past… https://t.co/1fEKa7lI8d pic.twitter.com/CkikPzpD5G

How many people have story or creative ideas as good (or better) than the most successful writers - but lack the technical skill or the work ethic to bring them to fruition? An AI creative writer will remove those barriers and allow more people to bring their visions to life.

Pure uninspired drivel.. writers remain safe from AI https://t.co/5DV0Xr6wiy
— Ross Hendricks (@Ross__Hendricks) March 11, 2025
Arguing that this story is bad is a weak critique. If AI proceeds apace, it will eventually produce writing you personally find brilliant. That should not in any way diminish the value of human-made art. The photograph did not make the painting obsolete. https://t.co/iVvQWXdHKH

Maybe @sama doesn't realize he's a villain.
— Darinstrauss (@Darinstrauss) March 11, 2025
But we're lost if AI art replaces creativity. I don't mean just the jobs, tho that's clearly awful
But it'll also take what makes us human
Per Brodkey, if machines make art, the human species will fall into "a reduced notion" of itself https://t.co/sR3g6iozJN

I may be wrong here (hope not) but I don’t see people lining up to read fiction, meta or otherwise, that is written by robots https://t.co/AvjJKEzDwY
— Kat Rosenfield (@katrosenfield) March 12, 2025
Counterpoint: It's not good, the fact Altman thinks it's good is an example of his underdeveloped soul, there is zero demand for expressions of the human condition by statistical inference, and the whole field of generative AI is a scam. Tick tick, nerds. https://t.co/8CxyrYaM4E

OpenAI has a new model which is performing better at writing. I hope it will become available via an API at least so other tools can adopt it 🤞
— TestingCatalog News 🗞 (@testingcatalog) March 11, 2025
To that day, I still use 4o among other options as it performs much better (even than 4.5). https://t.co/FQ9l7o6P5x pic.twitter.com/mpnHqzOXTb

Today, @OpenAI launched their Agents SDK developer framework.
— Jeff Weinstein (@jeff_weinstein) March 11, 2025
Until now, agents have mostly been chat-oriented (chat in, chat out), but agents will increasingly be action-oriented (data in, action out).
We, @stripe, would love to show you a few financial agents we’ve built! ⤵️
OpenAI just launched the Agents SDK - a simple yet powerful toolkit for building AI apps that can actually do things in the real world!

I summarized everything you need to know about it and how it is going to be a game changer for anyone building agents. pic.twitter.com/QJWXjwkk5B

China just dropped another open-source model: VACE, their Video generator
7 WILD examples so far: pic.twitter.com/TYlMcrkV0A
1. All-in-One Video Creation and Editing
— Poonam Soni (@CodeByPoonam) March 12, 2025
Provides solutions for video generation and editing within a single model. pic.twitter.com/mC10oAs2qZ
2. Video Rerender
— Poonam Soni (@CodeByPoonam) March 12, 2025
VACE can perform video re-render, including content preservation, structure preservation, subject preservation, posture preservation, and motion preservation, etc. pic.twitter.com/qEv39STczS
3. Move-Anything:

Example: A young boy rises from his chair and walks briskly to the right side of the frame towards the edge of the sun-drenched frame, as if chasing a new adventure. pic.twitter.com/mxh8hpYQzS
4. Composite Anything pic.twitter.com/BzT9unyhqQ
