I attended a workshop hosted by the Center for Applied Rationality, and the most valuable part of that was getting more social contact with the kind of people who are into that sort of thing.
Like, spending four days and $4000 to have a dozen short conversations with Anna Salamon is probably a good buy. It's rather hard to evaluate, since you're getting things that are difficult to buy with money.
I don't have any experience with YC, but I imagine that it's a similar sort of deal - especially since I've heard that they focus on community-building.
