That was so long ago it’s almost irrelevant. The only relevant connection is the last remaining YC founder Steve Huffman who likely is going to be heavily influenced by Sam Altman on the LLM=fresh real-time conversational data being valuable. If stuff like GPT is going to be useful as a Q&A engine on Google/Bing it needs plenty of data feeds that are coming in quickly and fed into training. People claim some old scaped DBs of Reddit comments are enough because some OSS model trained on it but I’m skeptical that’s a serious option for Microsoft and the like. Otherwise the HN/YC<>Reddit is pretty much just an old founding story, not one relevant to today or the culture of HN.
