Hi DrNuke! A few thoughts:
> surrendering their AI ideas
Nobody is surrendering anything. The money is literally a gift. We have no rights in whatever they produce.
> private psychometric data
We have a personality test we’re experimenting with for future batches. We’re still making funding decisions based on the application for this batch. If you’d prefer to avoid filling it out, by all means!
> unnecessary services
I disagree! Money and $20,000 in GPU training time is worth a lot. Most of our prior Fellows put it to good use.
> Come on YC
This non-profit is unrelated to my role at YC. Please direct any frustration at me, not YC!
- dchichkov 9y agoYou'd be a cool kid, if you'd sign an NDA. (edit. personally I do believe that you are truly just trying to push the A.I. tech forward and to stay current with the best ideas in the field.)
- YeGoblynQueenne 9y agoMnyeah. I guess you could call building a profile of your users (say, to sell to third parties) "staying current with the best ideas in the field". Kind of like "the best minds in a generation are trying to make people click on ads" etc.
- RosanaAnaDana 9y agoI think its cool. I also think there is a healthy culture of skepticism and mistrust on this message board. Will we be able to learn anything about the results of this raffle?
