Someone asked this question 4 years ago today. PG joked about getting Trevor to build him a robot:

Not to sound luddite, but I hope it won't have changed much. Same for Hacker News. IMHO, it's perfect as is.

EDIT: the first time around, I couldn't read the linked article, as the server was HN'ed. Now, having read the article, I wholeheartedly agree. I do hope, that if YC scales much further, it will expand to Europe. I feel I shouldn't have to move to the valley to create a successful startup. For instance, my hometown is a sister city to Palo Alto, surely there's some opportunity to share the love.

Not to come across as a downer; but there is nothing to say that you can't create a successful startup where you're at. You simply cannot be part of the Y Combinator program.

Have faith and get coding!

That's an aggressive answer to give to that question in this foru.... oh, it's the domain name. Carry on.

pg's personal time may face a law of diminishing returns, but the alumni network will scale up in a comparative way. At least, in the 3 year timeframe discussed here.

I originally got a 404 error and thought it was some kind of prank.

Now I'm getting binary gibberish that doesn't seem to be any encoding I can divine? Going straight to http://areallybadidea.com/ has it on the front page, for now.

Its just random broken text. I don't get the joke.
