What does YC have to do with OpenAI?

Appeal to hallucinated authority
Unlike my objection to the use of the concept of hullucination in relation to the output of LLMs, I concur here!
Sam Altman was President of YC and CEO of OpenAI.
And...?
Are you trolling? I answered your question in the clearest way I could think to.

I have no idea what the actual implications are of the relation. But it's there and it's suggested his network of friends from YC could bolster his position with OpenAI. No idea if that's true, but it's not like it is so strange a notion that it merits "playing dumb" like you're doing.

It just seems like such a weird claim. Like, does she have receipts to prove all these platforms are denying her? It just seems to be stretching credulity and I can't see how its possible for them to get this granular about it. I dunno, she needs to substantiate these things.
