Sam Altman, OpenAI CEO
Altman publicly thanked OpenAI co-founder Greg Brockman, calling their decade of collaboration a genuine privilege and saying OpenAI would not be where it is today without Greg. He cited an older article that he believes "still holds up" but underestimated Greg's technical talent and determination. He also strongly recommended Agents SDK 2.0, calling it seriously underrated.

Aaron Levie, Box CEO
Levie offered two substantive views. First, treat AI as a utility rather than a being: anthropomorphism creates more inevitably flawed analogies and confusion. Second, the work required to deploy enterprise agents will exceed everyone's expectations, creating enormous employment opportunities across existing and new consultancies, agent vendors' field engineers, and new internal agent-engineering roles.

Amjad Masad, Replit CEO
Masad demonstrated a new Replit capability: 10 projects each running 10 parallel agents, for 100 concurrent agents, which amazed him. He also shared the results of a day of "marathon vibe coding," reflecting on how AI fundamentally changes what one person can accomplish in one day.

Peter Steinberger, OpenClaw Founder
Steinberger released two product updates in quick succession. OpenClaw fixed dependency and speed issues with npm installation, moving almost everything into extensions and substantially slimming the core package. RepoBar 0.4.0 significantly upgraded the GitHub menu with persistent SQLite caching, visible API rate limits, better issue and PR loading, and archive fallback—an important iteration of the menubar tool. He also casually said he was "going to call @sama," drawing 2,031 interactions and suggesting a major collaboration or product discussion was underway.

Peter Yang, Roblox Product Manager
Yang shared a practical way to keep agents running after closing a MacBook: download Amphetamine from the Mac App Store and uncheck all default session options in settings so closing the lid does not interrupt tasks. The post received 589 likes, suggesting broad demand for a solution to this problem.

Garry Tan, Y Combinator CEO
Tan said GBrain with OpenClaw and the book-mirror skill pack is like an unlimited personal Blinkist, the book-summary service, enabling quick absorption of books' central ideas. He also criticized Oakland's financial management, claiming it has the highest per-capita taxes among comparable cities but the worst service quality, with 44% of Measure E taxes going directly to preapproved union pay raises.

Swyx
Swyx recorded a striking moment at AI Engineering Europe: Vibe-kanban creator @tokengobbler announced onstage that he was shutting down the project, which had 30,000 monthly active users, and offered a sharp observation: "Everyone making money is doing two things: selling to enterprises and reselling tokens." Swyx strongly agreed. He also revealed that he had spent three years finishing his second short story.

Nikunj Kothari, FPV Ventures Partner
Kothari criticized excessive conservatism in VC risk management, with too many funds controlling downside rather than maximizing upside. He observed that when he repeatedly asks GPs why they made an investment, by the fifth "why" the real reason is often "a big token factory will buy them anyway, so the downside is protected." He sees this as an investment logic with distorted values.
