The point isn't doing fine financially, it's having left multi million dollar startups as founders.

In essence, they have left stellar projects with huge money potential for the corporate rat race, albeit at important $.

They’re pretty sophisticated people and weighed the trades. It’s not as if they’re deserving of any sort of sympathy.

I think we are stretching the term "corporate rat race" a bit in this case.

If the AI bubble pops such that Meta's exorbitant AI spending is seen as a flop, how well would those startups have done?
