Like a lot. Didn't YC even fund that startup that wanted to turn middle class suburban homeowners into slumlords by building rental poverty shacks in their back yards?

#12The weird thing with AI startups is the funding is kind of smoke and mirrors. So much of the funding is tied up in NVDA, MSFT, GOOGL, or AMZN incentives that the actual cash value is... murky.
May be hard to pay salaries with GPU credits.

Too many syllables in the name, and too much functionality. I refer you to Yo:

#14I would watch a remake of "The Producers" set in Silicon Valley with startups instead of Broadway productions.
For those unfamiliar, it's about guys who fraudulently resell the same shares in the profit of a Broadway production 25 times over, and then try to ensure that it's a failure so there won't be any profit to pay, but accidentally create a success and are ruined.

Interesting, I didn’t realize that the “Bro” app from Silicon Valley was based off of a real app.

I don’t know what startup you are mocking, but this is a very bad faith way to characterize building ADUs cheaply. You don’t know the first thing about housing, besides making drama about it.

#19Remember the dot-com bubble? Teenagers making millions creating simple static sites for desperate clients.. :D

I don't believe I've seen anything in the TV show Silicon Valley that wasn't based on something IRL. Dig around on anything that appears in that show, and I defy you to find something that the writers just pulled out of their ass.
