I just watched someone spiral into what seems like a manic episode in realtime over the course of several weeks. They began posting to Facebook about their conversations with ChatGPT and how it discovered that based on their chat history they have 5 or 6 rare cognitive traits that make them hyper intelligent/perceptive and the likelihood of all these existing in one person is one in a trillion, so they are a special statistical anomaly.

They seem to genuinely believe that they have special powers now and have seemingly lost all self awareness. At first I thought they were going for an AI guru/influencer angle but it now looks more like genuine delusion.

Yes some of them are sacred sites for the Mayan peoples.

A cenote is an inland tidal pool connected to the ocean. Mostly found along the Riviera Maya in Mexico.

Exactly. If I had to bet I would guess their server is just straight up serving the file. I've seen that way too many times.

OP seems to think that using a .env file means your key can't be leaked because it's not in a git repo. I would bet good money one of their devs accidentally committed it, or that they put it on a server somewhere and it's being served up as a regular file.

Fair enough but wouldn't it make sense to find a co-founder vs getting paid a relatively small amount to build someone else's thing?

Certainly possible, but one of the core premises of YC is that it's easy for technical people to learn sales and marketing but the inverse is not true. So this whole trend seems weird and a bit hypocritical. I'm more curious whether it's working and if they are actually finding people that meet these insane qualifications for relatively meager salaries and equity.

Sure but this seems a bit hypocritical when YC prefers and recommends having 2 technical founders over 1 technical and one business oriented founder. One of their major premises is that it's easy to teach sales and marketing to an engineer but not easy to teach engineering to a non-technical person. In these cases it seems reversed where the founders are not technical and are hiring someone to build the whole product.

So you're a beneficiary of the homeless industrial complex. Sorry but I'm not interested in anything you have to say as it's impossible for you to be objective given the amounts of money flushed through these programs.

This is a hilariously naive and silly take because SF did exactly this and continues to do so. Spoiler alert, they have massively exacerbated their homeless problems and very few are being reintegrated back into society.
