I have received over the years so much spam of this kind by multiple YC-funded companies that I now reflexively send to spam any email that mentions being YC-funded, regardless of how legitimate the email is.
- neya 8mo agoI don't blame you, the FOMO is real to the point even basic ChatGPT wrappers are getting funded these days, I guess.
- jvwww 8mo agoI'm always interested to understand - what constitutes a basic ChatGPT wrapper? Is Legora, which is doing very well, a basic ChatGPT wrapper? Because if you don't view it as one, it certainly started as one.
- AznHisoka 8mo agoSame here, having YC attached to your name is not the flex you think it is, its even the opposite for me
- ryandrake 8mo agoTheir brand has been associated with hacking-around and gaining advantage via rule breaking for a while. Didn't their founder application at one point ask "Tell us about a time where you hacked some system for your advantage?" At this point, I think everyone knows they're signing up for dark patterns and questionable practices when they get involved.
- Goronmon 8mo agoTheir brand has been associated with hacking-around and gaining advantage via rule breaking for a while. Yup, this type of behavior is pretty much as I would expect and it's something I've seen since I first started posting here.
- nerdsniper 8mo agoIt still does. > Please tell us about a time you most successfully hacked some (non-computer) system to your advantage: I suspect it can be an excellent barometer of someone's: - alignment in terms of pro-social vs. anti-social - decision making under desperation - "social filter": threading the line between 'interesting'/'compelling' vs. 'off-putting'/'concerning' which are important signals for evaluating potential future C-suite executives.
