It never won't be funny that Joseph Gordon-Levitt is still running a crowdsourced, mostly nonpaying twee art factory amidst all his tech connections...
The whole thing from the outside is like when a roomful of adults at a party feign responsibility by taking interest in their kids' endless game of musical chairs for five minutes...
Thank you. I considered reading one of the several (?, or was there only one but with bigger and bigger font) Times articles on this, but just couldn't muster the interest. My only remaining question, and apologies for even asking, what's the Larry Summers connection?
it made no sense that Microsoft could announce they’d hired him, then he could back out of it instantly. I guess they never actually did. the weird details of Microsoft’s investment in the company provide some insight there. there was probably some protection in the paperwork saying they couldnt just poach 90% of the company they’d invested in.

Thank you for shedding light on one of my burning questions throughout this whole saga: what’s the deal with the Quora guy?
He’s Mark Zuckerberg’s roommate now it makes sense. And seems to be the only rebellious board member still standing. Real Nelson Bighetti energy
Thanks Max, I admire the dedication you poured into such a corpo snoozefest of a story. Seriously! I meant it as a compliment lol
My only real takeaway is that you should make a Venturkapitalschadenfreude tier of ReadMax where you review S-1s, I’d pay extra for that content
This made me lol
This is an excellent summary, I think you didn’t miss anything at all.
