Even worse: VC still expect even the "failed" projects to maximize their return. They don't fund things pro bono, and they will force every project to make decisions that put investor returns before sanity and basic human decency.

Yes. But I think what we don't know is what the agreements really look like in this case. I don't know what a SAFT (Simple Agreement for Future Tokens) is. So maybe this investment is structured differently than regular venture capital deals.
