Anil Dash's analysis of Sam Altman's free speach essay
&#x27;First, the rhetoric of some of the most wealthy &amp; powerful people in the history of the world being &quot;unable to say&quot; things is ridiculous.&#x27;<p>I read this first line and already knew I disagreed with this essay. Speech is the one thing that can equalize rich and poor, and has the ability to evaporate decades of work and reputation.<p>I generally don&#x27;t like much coming out of the Bay Area right now, and have an especial distate for YC&#x27;s contributions to this mess, but I am impressed with Sam Altman&#x27;s essay. He&#x27;s going to get a lot of backlash for it, but I believe he is correct.
