Garry Tan: Own Your Intelligence

影片總結

Garry Tan argues personal AGI, G Brain, and Markdown skills let one founder achieve 400x leverage while owning their intelligence.

At Startup School 2026, Garry Tan frames personal AGI as intelligence you own rather than rent: an agent running on your infrastructure, using a personal library, and executing Markdown-based skills that compound over time. He cites his own results—about 400x more coding output than in 2013, still at least 8x after harsh adjustments—and says a quarter of YC’s Winter 2025 companies had codebases that were 95% AI-generated. Tan’s G Brain contains roughly 220,000 Markdown pages covering 25 years of life, while its open-source G stack has 123,000 GitHub stars. His five-step plan is to run a local agent, build a small personal library, write one skill file, automate it on a schedule, and convert every task into reusable memory. The core warning: if your skills live in an employer’s repository, your career becomes extraction; if you control them, you operate under your own power.
