I got to the comma in the first sentence from the webpage and immediately went to the comments because I had the exact same thought.

Given Y Combinator's vetting process, I'm sure they would have tackled this problem somehow - maybe by feeding the heat into another process? It will be interesting to see how they've solved this.

The vetting process of the fund that quite famously invests in the founders over the idea?

I hope that’s what’s going on here. They can’t seriously fund something like this and expect anything close to the pitched output.

But I also wouldn’t fund the founders here because they have to be incompetent or grifting. I seriously don’t see any other way, it’s that ridiculous.

Bold grift may be what they're selecting for
