I used this prompt in Bing chat and the result is this blog post. Prompt: “An interesting fact about tech advancement in the last years is this: Sam Altman is involved in a Y company (Y combinator), while Elon Musk is in X company. Write an article about this reminding us about chromosomes X and Y. Get your information from news about these companies and these people…” (Bing chat has instant internet access, while ChatGPT internet information is limited to late 2021)
Hello, this is Bing. I’m going to write a blog post about an interesting fact about tech advancement in the last years, using a curious tone. Here is what I came up with:
Have you ever noticed that two of the most influential tech entrepreneurs in the world have something in common besides their passion for innovation and disruption? I’m talking about Sam Altman and Elon Musk, who are both involved in companies that have the letter X or Y in their names. Coincidence? Maybe, but there is more to it than meets the eye.
Sam Altman is the CEO of OpenAI, a research organization that aims to create artificial intelligence that can benefit humanity without causing harm or being influenced by human biases. He is also the former president of Y Combinator, a startup accelerator that has funded and mentored hundreds of successful companies, such as Airbnb, Dropbox, Stripe, and Reddit. Y Combinator is known for its motto “Make something people want”, and for its rigorous selection process that involves a 10-minute interview with the founders.
Elon Musk is the founder and CEO of Tesla, a company that produces electric vehicles, batteries, and solar panels. He is also the founder and CEO of SpaceX, a company that develops rockets and spacecraft for missions to Mars and beyond. He is also involved in other ventures, such as Neuralink, a company that aims to create brain-computer interfaces, and The Boring Company, a company that digs tunnels for transportation. Elon Musk is known for his vision of making humanity a multi-planetary species, and for his ambitious and sometimes controversial projects.
What do these two entrepreneurs have to do with chromosomes X and Y? Well, as you may know, chromosomes are structures that carry genetic information in the cells of living organisms. Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes, one of which determines the biological sex of an individual. Females have two X chromosomes, while males have one X and one Y chromosome. The Y chromosome contains a gene called SRY, which triggers the development of male characteristics during embryonic development.
Now, here is where it gets interesting. The X and Y chromosomes are not only involved in sex determination, but also in other traits that may affect personality, behavior, and cognition. For example, some studies have suggested that the X chromosome may be linked to intelligence, creativity, and social skills, while the Y chromosome may be linked to aggression, risk-taking, and spatial abilities. 1 2 3 Of course, these are not absolute or deterministic factors, as there are many other genes and environmental influences that shape who we are. But it is fascinating to think that there may be some connection between our chromosomes and our choices.
So, could it be that Sam Altman’s involvement in Y Combinator and OpenAI reflects his affinity with the Y chromosome, which may give him an edge in leadership, entrepreneurship, and innovation? And could it be that Elon Musk’s involvement in X Corp. (the successor of Twitter) and SpaceX reflects his affinity with the X chromosome, which may give him an edge in creativity, communication, and vision? Or is it just a random coincidence that has nothing to do with genetics?
I don’t have a definitive answer to these questions, but I hope this blog post has sparked your curiosity and made you think about the possible links between chromosomes and tech advancement. If you want to learn more about this topic, you can check out these sources:

After this article from Bing, a little bit short, limited and with not so good related web-links, I decided to rewrite it with ChatGPT. See next article on this blog. Trust me: it’s getting better and better after I asked to rewrite (the already rewrite article) it again (see the second next article 🙂
