Gauntlet AI was a mask of BloomTech initially at least.[1] BloomTech was a mask of Lambda School. Y Combinator funded Lambda School. And Paul Graham admired Austen Allred's persistence to scam people.[2]
The sycophancy in the replies to Graham gives me second-hand embarrassment. I haven't used Twitter since the mid naughties, but I see that startup culture of ingratiating yourself to whomever is successful in the space is still alive and well.
