Sam Altman's sister amends lawsuit accusing OpenAI CEO of sexual abuse

Thank you, excellent summary

Also he was 21 in 2006 if my math is right. Which when put squarely, only makes it 1000x more fucked

She apparently originally filed before ChatGPT was a thing so it’s not about him becoming rich and famous Edit: Annie Altman, the sister of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, first went public with allegations of abuse against him in 2021, which was before ChatGPT was released (November 2022). She went public with claims prior but did not file a lawsuit prior

Virginias law should really be passed because there should not be an ‘expiration date’ on this sort of thing

Why are they all rapist ?

Unfortunately Sam has the idiots who are loyal to him no matter what, just like Elon. Their supporters see AI as this gift to humanity and they can do no wrong. F Sam and F Elon.

It's kind of crazy that there are statute of limitations for seriously heinous crimes like r***, murder, sexual assault etc. Yeah you raped someone but 10 years has passed so the slate is wiped clean....

Maybe I'm doing my math wrong. But if Sam Altman is 40 years old right now, he would have been Born in 1986 approximately? So 12 years old in 1998. And Annie Altman would have been 3 years old in 1998. So how did she make her first claim of abuse in 1997? She would have been 2 years old and he would have been around 11. What am I missing here?

If he did this ,, then the whistle blower too ?

It truly is, the ones you most expect, isn’t it. The Venn-diagram of massive perverts and billionaires is a circle, right?

>began when she was three and he was 12. What. The. F***….

It’s wild that this isn’t being talked about more. A Sam Altman slam piece just came out. It seems like exactly the time that more people should learn this guy is a monster.

The New Yorker did a recent piece on OpenAI and Sam Altman, which has this incredible quote from an anonymous OpenAI board member: "\[Sam Altman has\] two traits that are almost never seen in the same person. The first is a strong desire to please people, to be liked in any given interaction. The second is almost a sociopathic lack of concern for the consequences that may come from deceiving someone.”

"Sociopath" is what he said. The difference is meaningful but no less concerning.

There’s something wrong with the way we organize society when hierarchy favor sociopaths at the top.

Most CEOs are. You can almost correlate psychopathy+intelligence to success.

He was a borderline billionaire investor in 2021. Most of his fortune was made independent of OpenAI. 

Sam Altman was already a billionaire venture capitalist in 2021.

Fun fact: he used to be listnook’s CEO! He’s been wel known in certain spaces like tech for quite a while.

99% of the planet would have no clue who this guy is. 

Anyone who thinks a woman would put herself through a r*** trial for money, needs their head read. 

Truth. And it’s the oldest playbook with a situation like this to call the victim “crazy”.

All my crazy aunts that everyone hates (and each other) because they ruined the family with bipolar disorder… is due to SA assault from their father. My uncle is dead/suicided schitzo (Cant spell it), most likely from SA. They hated my father for kicking their dad out of the house when he was came back home at 18 (ran away at 16) for breaking up the family, took like a decade or two before people would talk to him, even some of the sa victims. So i say there is more than a 0% chance she was assaulted, but its also something that could be false. Not my case, but I can support her efforts and listen either way, she needs mental help.

Yes, they could, OR literally anything else in the world that can cause mental illness...

I mean, we didn't say this when the same thing happened to Adam Savage, just saying. And just like in that case, the entire family agrees she has mental health struggles and always has.

Well yeah, victims of childhood sexual assault usually do suffer from mental health challenges, so not really the winning argument they think it is.

Yup not like a fucked home life and SA wouldn't give you issues. The minimum proof here is that his sister and him experienced very different childhoods and Sam's family clearly gave up on her.

Maybe they've learned from the Kennedy family.

I know a guy that molested and raped his sister, she has had mental health issues stemming from it but her family just decided to get him therapy instead and brush it under the rug. I'm inclined to believe her especially since Sam is such a b****** person this isn't surprising behaviour.

So what she says is the truth, and what they say is false? How are you able to tell? Any bias in you anywhere?...

This is more or less exactly how Adam Savage's family handled the accusations from his sister.

always have been

George Lucas might be the only one who isn’t (as far as I know)

Sadly that's what it takes to be a billionaire: absolutely no empathy or care for other humans. And we as a society reward that.

Not Dario, he's our only shot at having a good one leas the way here

Bringing up Autism as a possible explanation in the context of someone (allegedly) having raped their 3-year-old sister is insulting. THAT'S why you're catching so much shit. You clearly do not know anything about Autism other than the insulting stereotypes. Tech CEOs aren't assholes because of Autism. The vast majority of Autistic people are not like that. Many Autistic people actually struggle with hyperempathy. Autistic people are absolutely capable of being assholes, but when that happens, it's because they're an a******, not because they're Autistic.

Almost like when you’re a scumbag in other respects, you get less of the benefit of the doubt

I see a lot of people saying he must be guilty. I see zero people saying he is definitely innocent. I do see a lot of people saying that we shouldn't believe someone's guilty simply because of an accusation and zero other evidence.

I joked in another story this guy always looks like someone who's been forced to front the press after being caught exposing himself to minors, and then a couple of hours later I read this story.

I want to be very clear that I'm not claiming most women are making false allegations. I believe all r*** allegations should be taken seriously and investigated correctly. But I also need to point out that the 98% of r*** allegations is true is a misleading statistic. With r*** allegations, you have 3 buckets. * Provably True (5%-10%) * Provably False (2%-10%) * Inconclusive (88% - 93%) \*using the 2% provably false The problem with r*** allegations is it's really rare for them to be provably true or provably false because you're trying to prove the action took place, and also that consent was not given in the moment. To be provably false, the accuser has to admit they were lying, or evidence has to be enough that it's proven conclusively that the accuser lied. It makes sense why this would be pretty rare. It seems misleading to say that the entire Inconclusive bucket are all true, when they often don't have enough evidence to be proven definitively either way. Now i'd assume that the majority of the inconclusive bucket are true. You could say that 80% of them are true, but that would still leave 20% of that bucket that wasn't. That would mean the r*** allegations that are true are 10% (provably true) + 70.4% (80% of the inconclusive bucket) which would leave 19% as false (I'm using the 2% provably false to be conservative). I'm not claiming that these numbers are accurate either. We legit don't know what % of the inconclusive bucket is true or false. I'm just trying to explain why the 98% being true is likely misleading.

Wow making up statistics now are we

People parrot these stats like they are meaningful in the slightest. Some of those things cannot remotely be accurately measured. And it totally denies the reality that false accusations *do* happen. You can literally speak to any single person working in the criminal jury system in any country to know that it does. You also don’t speak at all about the issue of reliability. A complainant can be wrong, particularly when something happened when they were a 3 year old, without lying. There are many instances where a “repressed memory” brought out by therapy about something at a young age in fact did not happen.

>Obligatory reminder that over 98% of r*** allegations are true and yet less than 5% of rapists ever get prosecuted. Claims made without evidence can be dismissed without evidence

Altman v. Altman (4:25-cv-00017), it was in district court in St Louis.

I don't see a populace saying "no we don't want this" I think I see a lot more of people trying to use it in cases where they clearly shouldn't.

Funny its the first thing that pops up when I google it
