Garry Tan: Own Your Intelligence

影片總結

Garry Tan says personal AGI can make one founder 400x more productive—and urges everyone to own their AI memory and skills.

At Startup School 2026, YC CEO Garry Tan uses Baruch Spinoza’s excommunication and refusal to trade intellectual freedom for a salary to frame his case for “personal AGI.” Rather than waiting for a single AGI breakthrough, he argues people can build agents on their own infrastructure, using personal context and reusable skills. Tan says AI agents raised his coding output about 400x, or at least 8x under conservative assumptions, and describes a personal knowledge base of 220,000 markdown pages spanning 25 years. He lays out a practical five-step plan: run an agent locally, start a personal library, write skill files, schedule recurring tasks, and preserve what each task teaches. He cites YC startups reaching $15 million in annualized revenue with 15 employees and $60 million with about 40, while warning that workers must own their skills or employers may capture their judgment. He closes with a father’s 80,000-file research system for his son’s rare epilepsy and urges founders to build under their own power.
