One of Altman's batch mates in the first Y Combinator cohort was Aaron Swartz, a brilliant but troubled coder who died by suicide in 2013 and is now remembered in many tech circles as something of a sage. Not long before his death, Swartz expressed concerns about Altman to several friends. "You need to understand that Sam can never be trusted," he told one. "He is a sociopath. He would do anything."

"going above your head" meme Incorrect: "Wow cool concept aura I want art with aura" Correct: "Under industrial capitalism works of art can be reproduced cheaply and experienced widely by the masses. This devalues them as commodities on the market. To seek to recover an imagined mythical "aura" that gave art its ritual value and was lost with modern society is a reactionary impulse that serves fascism. Instead, we must politicize art towards the abolition of capitalist property relations by the proletarian masses."

I was proud to fight these abuses in my First Term, and our Department of Justice's antitrust team will continue that work under Gail's leadership. Gail previously served at the FTC, in my National Economic Council and, most recently, advising Vice President-Elect JD Vance in his Senate office. Gail has also worked in the private sector, in Media at FOX, and in the Tech sector at Roku. In her new role, Gail will help
