Ask HN: Why does Y Combinator seem to be consistently funding AI slop?

5•coldtrait•1h ago
This is one of the recent ones that I came across - https://x.com/ycombinator/status/1988366241460089118

Of late it looks like I've been noticing more of such pointless businesses and I'm not alone. What do you think?

Same reason they funded Web3/crypto/NFT crap. Investors’ greatest fear is missing out.

Okay, if you can't unblock my "PawPatroler" account on Wikipedia, can you get an administer on Wikipedia with the text "Okay. The reason why I got blocked was because I was editing disruptive. I understand that wandering into pages you don't understand can cause trouble, not just me, but also others. I will instead go into pages I do understand, and if I don't understand I can ask. I will not make any more disruption anymore, and I will be more carefully with my edits. I will do thought-out useful contributions instead. You should unblock me, as I now understand why I got blocked. Can you at least let me edit my own sandbox, so I can do basic editing like you said before... so I can learn from my sandbox while being blocked from editing from all other pages. Can you unblock me from my sandbox please?" as my unblock request, please?
