The actual actual goal is to promote Ycombinator to make money for pg.

I don't think it's that simple. It's my opinion that YC doesn't need much buzz, except within this very community. Since they own the venue, they get the benefit.

I think that a goal is to "cultivate" a startup community. Get nerds and tech bros together, and some synergy is bound to happen.

I'm not trying to start anything up, but I do enjoy the community. I'm not really what YC is looking for, but I suspect they like me, more than an LLM.
