Bearish on YCs turn to the military industrial complex. It basically means that they've given up on trying to create 0-to-1 paradigm shifting products and would rather sucks on the pentagon's teat.

Thoughts on YC’s move into defense tech?

I'm biased, but hugely supportive.

If we believe the West writ large is a good environment for humanity and that actors are trying to threaten that (states, groups, individuals, etc.) having more smart people work on our collective defense is a good thing.

I think YC is good at finding smart people.
