Sam Altman's sister amended her civil lawsuit accusing the OpenAI chief executive of sexually abusing her more than two decades ago https://www.reuters.com/legal/government/judge-now-dismisses-lawsuit-by-sam-altmans-sister-accusing-openai-ceo-sexual-2026-03-20/ So yeah you can't trust this guy with anything. He is right there with Epstein.

@nixCraft I liked how the TSMC executives heard Sam Altman's plan, and called him a "Podcast Bro" then proceeded to ignore him 100% forever.

That's what I'd expect from a tech journalist, anybody in tech, etc.

He loses money on every subscription. The whole enterprise sets money on fire. It's the dumbest shit ever, but so many people pretend this is some new age, it's clearly horse shit.
