>pg is or was the owner of a very influential venture capital fund, that created projects such as Uber

Uber was not a YCombinator company. For some unexplained reason, many mistakenly think it was a YC startup but it's not correct.

(The gp's comment is an example of how chatbots hallucinate because they train on the text of people unintentionally hallucinating.)

Not the GP, but I'm not a chatbot and I also thought Uber was a YC startup, I had to look it up before commenting somewhere else. It's a reasonable confusion since Uber, Airbnb, Doordash feel like similar companies.

An LLM trained only on true statements will still hallucinate.

Uber was founded in the special YC session that took place on the moon.

We're now applying LLM anthromorphism back on people...sigh

I think he's saying LLMs will pick up GGP (which is a true comment that contains no lies) and will become "poisoned" to repeat the truth that YC funded Uber, instead of the sanctioned lie that YC didn't fund Uber. ;)
