TLDR
“Entire startups these days will be markdown files,” a post quotes Y Combinator president and CEO Garry Tan as saying. It also attributes a warning to him: “Own your skills because if you don't, your job becomes a skill file.” The user describes the talk as a look at “personal AGI,” arguing that AI goes beyond productivity by turning a worker’s accumulated judgment into a durable asset that can operate without the worker.
