I wonder how many of these hype-chasing AI founders are going to take the path of self-enrichment while capitulating their startups when they get exhausted of searching for a moat.

I wonder how many of these hype-chasing AI founders are NOT going to take the path of self-enrichment while capitulating their startups when they get exhausted of pretending to build something.

How do I get into this game? Take a bunch of VC money, pay myself a hefty salary, don't give a damn about my employees if the whole thing goes bust. Must be nice, not having principles.

Best acceptance rate by YC seems to be Stanford, FAANG then YC.

I mean, if you qualify that question like that, then probably closer to 100%.

What would be more interesting to know, is how many AI founders starts out as "not hype-chasing", but end up self-enriching/capitulate their startups regardless, basically turning into it rather than starting out like that.

Not sure why would the AI part make the difference with other founders.
