Altman isn’t the only beneficiary, my analogy is just that, an analogy.

The property of a charity is being pillaged for the benefit of private parties, like Microsoft, existing employees, and yes of course Altman himself via various means.

You can “well actually” this all day, but at the beginning of the story there’s a charity with millions of dollars to do research and the promise to keep the resulting advancements in the public trust.

At the end of the story there will be billions of dollars in the hands of private individuals and the IP the charity created in the hands of a ruthless for profit company.
