Altman himself was pushed out of the president role at YC, not sure if Shear was a partner then. If he was he'd know the inside scoop

Regarding saving VCs money, if he pushes too hard for commercialization over safety he risks his job.

After his quiet departure, the YC communication team edited his Wikipedia page to remove his affliation with YC. Make of that what you will, but I don't think many would even bothering doing that for an ex-employee if they were beloved
