Probably shouldn’t rehire someone you probably fired over sexually assaulting his sister

Is that what happened? First I’ve heard of that. Source?

I had never heard this before but googled it.

Annie Altman Abuse Allegations Against Sam Altman, Explained | The Mary Sue

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman's sister Annie has seemingly come to social media multiple times, most recently in October 2023, with allegations about him.

That’s kind of fucked up dang.

Not just the abuse but the disconnection afterwards is fucked. And when there is smoke like this and that sort of disconnect there is bound to be other shit lurking in the background.

Ah yes “themarysue.com”, where I get all my news from

Part of what makes this particular story noteworthy is the lack of coverage for so long by news outlets, so turning your nose up because of the news outlet that wrote the story kinda misses the point.

If you’re so critical of The Mary Sue that you’re not even willing to read the article, that sounds like a self-enforced echo chamber. You’re always free to find coverage by another news outlet or even write to a news outlet you respect asking them to cover this story.

“statistic dont apply to me!”

Annie Altman Abuse Allegations Against Sam Altman, Explained | The Mary Sue

We aren’t downvoting you because we assume that didn’t happen. We are downvoting you because there is zero evidence that that is why he was fired.
Great! I’m being down voted because you lack reading comprehension

Ironic that you are accusing us of reading comprehension issues considering your link says the following:

While we obviously don’t have any insight into the company’s decision, there is a lot of speculation being thrown about online that the move to remove Sam Altman, which came just over a month after Annie Altman’s allegations garnered attention in October, may possibly have less to do with his business abilities snd more to do with personal controversies.

Your conclusion is based on nothing more than speculation, so you might want to work on your reading comprehension before going around accusing others of the same problem that you clearly are suffering from.

Homie I’m not the one coming to the rescue of a dude that sexually assaulted his sister.
You’re also wrongly assuming I wouldn’t want him to be fired for sexual assaulting his sister. I do want that, but at the current time, there is nothing other than speculation that would imply that is why he was fired, so I’ve downvoted you for spreading misinformation and doubling down on your misinformation.
  • You have evidence of your accusation?
  • You have evidence that is why he was fired?
  • No, and no.

    This is why you’re being downvoted, and then you decide to double-down by insulting people. I would say that reflects an ideological perspective.

    “Eveeyone that disagrees with me definitely lives the taste of boot”

    Ok retard

    There is none. There are some rumors and past allegations but no evidence or confirmation on why he was removed. Not sure why so many people go around spouting random things as facts.
    Take Sam’s dick out of your mouth and maybe you can find the source
    Bro that’s multiple comments woth you obsessed over this dudes cock. Just admit you love his cock and stfu
    I don't think he wants to fight you for it.

    Not sure why so many people go around spouting random things as facts.

    People love that endorphin rush that comes from being part of a Two Minutes Hate on a "deserving" subject.

    There is a post on lesswrong which compiles the accusations made by the sister. Having worked with many incest victims, family scapegoats and Cinderellas I’ll say the story is familiar to what I’ve heard before and therefore credible.
    Is it usual that all the family and even therapists side against alleged victim? I think it's not impossible if the person is so traumatized and troubled to the point that the family rejects her but I struggle to believe that is the usual case.

    You might want to watch the “Britney vs Spears” documentary (though that’s a bit different and doesn’t have to do with rape, Britney was the rich person and her family conspired against her to take over her wealth, had a psychiatrist fabricate a report against her that subsequently just disappeared from the court files and even picked a lawyer for her that would side with them).

    Going back to this story, the “shht, let’s not ruin the future of our child prodigy, so even if he did something bad to you you will keep your mouth shut” is not that rare among families. Conspiracies by families to cover up rape done by one of their members do happen:

    'Keep it quiet': The family that covered up sex abuse

    From being sexually abused at the age of seven by a male member of her church-going family, a woman tells of years of heartache and anger she suffered when it was covered up.

    BBC News

    I think you clearly can show that it's possble but that doesn't mean it's likely the articles suggest it but they don't have any statistics to back it up. there is no equivalence between being poor and conspiring to get someone's money and cutting out someone from their inheritance.

    I completely disgree with your view that if you have money you have to help family even if they are radioactive to you. in some cases it's best to take distance. especially if the other person is so troubled that whenever you help it just backfires because they can't stop the drama.

    I don't doubt that most sex workers have trauma issues or even childhood issues, the part I'm not finding easy to accept is that it's likely that the family would usually side with the accuser.

    You’ve been downvoted, but the posts from his sister definitely don’t look great, and I wouldn’t be surprised if that was why the board kicked him out.
    I’m getting downvoted by embrassed billionaires 😂
    You're getting downvoted for slinging homophobic slurs and insults at people who are questioning your unproven allegations.
    You’re being downvoted for being manic, atually.
    It’s hilarious that people think this had anything to do with ethics. Money. It’s always about money.
