Unfortunately that's more of a defense of YC's funding of the Immunity Project than a defense of the Immunity Project itself.

- the_watcher 12y agoThe point is they don't need to defend the Immunity Project. They are giving them the resources to (ideally) allow them to defend themselves. If they fail, YC is fine with that, but the Immunity Project at least has the chance to try something.
- Fomite 12y agoI think a lot of the pushback, and absolutely my source for concern, was not so much YC funding the Immunity Project, but the hype spike that comes from a high profile investment around something with very, very little actual scientific evidence behind it.
