How important is idea? (alien.top)

I have been watching lots of Y combinator tutorials. There are a couple that discuss how important the starting ideas are. But I got some conflicting information.

One of them is by Jared Friedman (https://youtu.be/Th8JoIan4dg?si=dICXL5OIGPSTtYni). He claims that starting idea is not as important. You will gradually pivot to an amazing idea if you choose the right idea space. It is similar to what I have been hearing that great execution and team are everything

The other one of them is given by Sam Altman (https://youtu.be/egJeFaIXZLo?si=BUWflkxXt6a3NqZh). He claims that idea is extremely important. He has not seen pivoting to success.

I am confused. What do yall think. I mean I do hear stories where pivoting leads to success. Sam is very talented entrepreneur. Maybe I misunderstood him?

Appreciate any opinions!

They’re a bunch of rich kids, funded by their parents, trying desperately to claim that anything but they’re parents made them successful. Every word these people speak is literal dog shit.

I do agree to some extent they benefits a lot from rich parents such as it gives them much more freedom and less concern about what if the business fail. But for people from a poor family, getting a job after college to make a living is NO1 priority.

But I do think if they have a success record, they prob do have some good lessons to offer
