Paul Graham argues AI-written founder emails erode trust before a pitch lands, while studies on AI-generated messages point to weaker recipient reactions.

Well, here's an interesting tidbit about trying to access that #ycombinator link on my phone - while using an active #VPN client, running with #Wireguard - that it only displays "Sorry" in plain text, as it refuses my VPN connection, while I'm looking for a discussion on the very same 2 bits of tech my phone uses that are presumably the main contents of the discussion.

Times of India | He almost failed computer science. Now Y Combinator and Z Fellows are backing this teen in Delhi

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

Samrath Singh Chadha, a 19‑year‑old mathematics (and philosophy) student from Delhi, turned a early failure in computer‑science into a self‑driven passion for programming, building a password manager at 14 and launching an internship platform, InternNova, at 13. After teaching himself C and Python, he joined online founder communities, partnered with a co‑founder in the Bay Area, and earned a spot in Y Combinator and Z Fellows, receiving $600 k in funding before writing any code in San Francisco. Although his initial YC product—a voice AI for landing pages—prompted rapid pivots, he eventually focused on creating a compact AI agent that maps and navigates codebases, achieving notable gains on the SWE‑bench benchmark. Chadha acknowledges AI‑driven job displacement but argues that those who learn to build with these tools will see rising demand, and he urges aspiring founders to apply to accelerators for the discipline of articulating their vision.
