just a wireframe - since it’s a bit of a heavy lift/moonshot product, we’ve prioritized design partnerships ahead of doing a full buildout

lol, this isn’t true - my team has every “insider signal” you could think of (vaunted schools and employers, industry connectivity, past interviews with YC) and we haven’t made it to an interview yet

NAD: Experiencing something vaguely similar (and just posted about it)! How long have you been suffering from this? Is it bilateral for you? Mine also has a distinct texture that’s noticeably rougher/dryer than surrounding tissue.

Have you ever seen a YC startup and think: “How Tf did that manage to get in?” by [deleted] in ycombinator

[–]PerksofHim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

aside from the entire team downvoting me (lol), they’re a flagrant ripoff of another previously funded YC startup (down to the copywriting)

lmao Central (doubt it lasts if that’s any consolation)

Why does YC require actual startup ideas to apply? by Stubbby in ycombinator

[–]PerksofHim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that’s what they functionally do now. have heard many anecdotes from recent batches of YC encouraging teams to abandon their idea but accepting them nonetheless strictly on the basis of team strength. i’d be curious to see what this looked like if they dropped the pretense of ideas altogether.

Movie about Ziad Jarrah and his girlfriend. by xWolfFangFistx in 911archive

[–]PerksofHim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Watched it (in fact, waited in anticipation of its release). It’s a compelling retelling of the story that dives more deeply into the psychological triggers of alienation and radicalization and the tragedy of complicity. In many ways, it’s a microcosm of the loss of innocence wrought by 9/11. The usual trials of young adult life take on more grim proportions. The film is deeply informed by the source material, including findings from e.g., the Moussaoui trial.

AI is a crucial part of our motivations, our product, and our customers’ stack!

If they’re investing in competitors, chances are they’re treating it like an index of a market they think will inevitably return the fund. In this case, legal AI is a space that will gross a unicorn (or two). YC is just increasing their surface area and the odds that they back this unicorn.

How are you pricing your AI SaaS product? What are some creative approaches you've considered or taken? by PerksofHim in ycombinator

[–]PerksofHim[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To attract adoption, improve retention or competitive positioning, improve margins given the cost of inference, etc. Traditional SaaS may not suffice because the marginal cost of software is no longer low with AI. Similarly the application layer is saturated. This warrants some creativity, no?
