The blog post announcing Thiel's start at Y Combinator now bears an editor's note that says, "Peter Thiel is no longer affiliated with Y Combinator."
According to BuzzFeed, Y Combinator ended its part-time partner program entirely. But while other partners in that program remain affiliated with Y Combinator as "experts," Thiel's disassociation was complete.
