Altman discussed his decision to leave Stanford, stating it wasn't part of a calculated life plan but rather an unexpected opportunity that felt fun to pursue.
He emphasized the importance of realizing that most risks are reversible. 'You can try something, and if it doesn't work out, you can undo it.'
Despite being society's risk-averse nature, Altman believes his startup decision wasn't as risky as perceived, reflecting on the outdated traditional career path post-education.
Altman pointed out that the traditional career paths from the 50s and 60s are less rewarding today, making his choice to launch a startup more sensible.
