You ignored the rest of my comment. The maximum theoretical benefit to YC from “stealing” IP or trade secrets from chat transcripts is immaterial, relative to the benefit to YC of finding good talent and building positive, trusting relationships with them over the long term.
It's literally the hardest thing in business for investors and employers by far: finding good talent to invest in or employ, and earning/keeping their trust. YC spends unimaginable amounts of money and effort each year to keep doing that, as it has done for two decades. Startup School is just that latest and biggest example of that.
It doesn't even pass basic logic that YC would steal some gem of an idea from someone's transcript and hand it to someone else to build. Everyone who is talented enough to build it is busy building products based on their own ideas, and the very best person to build a product is the person who had the idea to build it.
