No! I don't know anything about Cyc, but AI Grant is very real. I run YC AI (http://ycombinator.com/ai http://ycombinator.com/ai). Nat is the VP of Developer Services at Microsoft. We're not doing this to sell info to recruiters. We're doing this because we're passionate about AI research. And because we think the best ideas often come from the fringe. We want to encourage others to take their side projects more seriously.
Feel free to message any of our existing Fellows and ask about their experience.
- bittercynic 9y agoSorry I voiced that musing. Guess I was just being true to my username.
- crankylinuxuser 9y agoNah, these days, you can't always be sure that someone's running a grift. The internet sure as hell makes it easy and approaching $0 to scam. And being cranky as well, I get it. But this is legit.
- tomkinson 9y agoPls consider changing the 'grant in minutes'. I am busy so I read the headline and jumped right to the page URL. It said nothing of the substantial requirements and commitments both data and time. That should be spelled out up front. This felt very un-comfortable, to keep being asked for more. If nothing else, spell out what you want upfront. - Application form - 100 question personality test - 10 question spatial test prelim - 20 min spatial test - who knows
- icc97 9y agoThe website is very light on contact details. Specifying things like physical addresses of where you're registered/located are fairly simple things to differentiate yourselves from scam artists.
