Barring some kind of life-changing event (religious conversion, serious accident, birth of a child, etc.), people tend to continue on the path they were on before.
I don't know enough about Altman's previous business dealings to judge, but is this part of a pattern of behavior?
- notahacker 3y agoI think the main pattern of behaviour here is that someone who realized the idealists around him believed he was switching to a profit model and licensing their tech to Microsoft out of philanthropic intent ended up assuming that they (and others) would be dumb enough to swallow the idea a $175m venture capital fund quietly spun off what is now the world's most-hyped company gave him full control and all the profits out of lack of resource to figure out any other arrangements...
- Chinjut 3y agoI am having tremendous difficulty parsing this sentence.
- notahacker 3y agoI removed a superfluous word, but it still isn't winning a Pulitzer Prize :-)
- justinclift 3y agoMaybe break it into a few smaller sentences? :)
- imtringued 3y agoYour comment is impossible to read because of some severe grammar mistakes, lack of punctuation and the fact that it is one long sentence. Here is the corrected version: Someone realized the idealists around him truly believed that he was switching to a for profit model out of philanthropic intent. That same person assumed, that the idealists would be dumb enough to let him quietly spin off a venture capital fund off the world's most hyped company. They let him get away with it (my interpretation), by giving him full control and all the profits, out of lack of resources to figure out any other arrangement.
