The actual reason why Kaparthy (and you'll see some other early employees) begin to consider leaving as they have already vested their shares and have taken profits during the hype.

> The actual reason

It is a possible reason. Unlikely, since employees on the level of Karpathy already don't have to work for money.

Hype, vesting, or comments like yours, are background noise for these people.

Not prevent. Many people get out of the hamster wheel eventually.
