Wonder if people going to this will have the same infamous sense of arrogance and entitlement that is common to Y combinator folks?

How could that possibly happen to a hand-picked group of YC's enterprise-AI founders?!

Having been through YC, there's certainly some of this, but the overwhelming majority of founders were pretty down to earth. People generally just want to solve hard problems.

This type of group is exactly what develop that feeling of entitlement and arrogance. It would be very surprising if that’s not the case.

That being said, all the ex YC people I interacted with in person have been awesome. But there is definitely a YC entitled group

Mark Cuban posting about a sense of arrogance and entitlement is certainly something. There's a reason behind the character of HBO Silicon Valley's Russ Hanneman...

Hot take but I don't mind startup founders being plucky and a bit arrogant/naieve. They need it.
