Cruise is an N=1, ironic to make this proclamation. And Cruise founder had massively successful exiting history. I wouldn't say this validates YC's recent bets on hard tech. People who do hard tech for a living (myself included) are more measured.

Sama sounds like Donald Trump with the "I told you so". Unlike real estate, science can't be bullied to success. This makes me increasingly bearish on YC's future.
