Oh, how revolutionary! 🎉 Another app promising to teach you everything from Mongol War Tactics to Quantum Physics, just with videos and games. Because nothing says "top-tier education" like a couple of multiple-choice questions and some swipes. 🙄 Bravo, #YCombinator, for backing this groundbreaking innovation! 💡

Y’all, we need to talk about the #AI-bros and the fact that they don’t think other people are humans that have value as ya know, people.
“We hosted a YC Startup School afterparty at the #LemonLime office to meet exceptional people, and find out which of them are just as crazy as we are,” wrote Zietz in a now-deleted #LinkedIn post. “That’s why we brought an actual tattoo artist to our party and offered an instant interview to anyone who got a LemonLime tattoo.”
Yep, an AI company said it would interview real humans only if they got branded with the company logo.
They’ve subsequently removed their posts…but the internet is forever.

🎉 Wow, just what the world needed! Another glorified spreadsheet builder, but this time with AI and a *hipster sticker*! 🤖💸 Apparently, letting non-engineers run wild with company data is now considered "secure" because... Y Combinator! 🙄🔒

🚀🔮 Oh joy, yet another "innovative" solution from the #startup world promising to magically slash costs by tossing #AI models around like a hot potato. 🤹♂️ Because who doesn't love the idea of their critical API calls being juggled by a shiny Y Combinator-backed gimmick? 💸🔀

YCombinator's Fall 2026 call is out. AI for kids, compute at sea, proving you're human. The categories reveal where smart money thinks the future is heading.

So, Codeberg (which is a FOSS/freedom-focused code hosting site) is run as a cooperative, with members able to nominate measures/policies and vote on them etc.
They just had a vote and approved policies making "AI" / LLM-based projects basically unwelcome there. The vote wasn't close; 70% voted in favour of the policy. It's not a hard & fast "if you use LLM, you're banned" or anything of the sort - it's quite a measured, reasoned stance.
The slopcoders are freaking out. They just don't understand how this is possible. Imagine! A community of people that makes their own decisions and you can't just make them do what you want or ignore them and consume their resources without their consent!
"I like slopcoding, actually" is turning out to be a *really* good litmus test for people you want to have absolutely nothing to do with your project or your community.
Look at some of the whining (this is the only reason I would ever link to YCombinator [1]):
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49021856[1] Your occasional and irregular reminder: "Hacker" "News" is neither.

Ah yes, the classic tale of #hacking into Y Combinator's system by exploiting an unvalidated HMAC 🤦♂️. Our hero "discovered" a #vulnerability, and instead of a Nobel Prize in #cybersecurity, he got a ticket to Startup School 🎓. YC's response? A polite nod and a patch, because nothing screams "startup potential" like breaking things for fun. 🚀

🚀 Wow, look at this life-changing innovation: Virtual machines, but now you can control them from the command line! 😱 Who knew typing commands could be so revolutionary? Y Combinator backed, because of course it is—static IPs and per-minute billing, what a time to be alive! 🤖✨
