The lawsuit, which was filed on 6 January in a US District Court in the Eastern District of Missouri, alleges that the abuse started when she was three and Mr Altman was 12.
In a joint statement on X, with his mother and two brothers, Mr Altman denied the allegations, saying “all of these claims are utterly untrue.”
In the filing, which has been seen by the BBC, Ms Altman alleged that the abuse, which took place over many years, included rape.

Sorry, but the new facebook community-fact-checking says Altman totally raped his sister and also did unspeakable things to the family dog.
Colby, no!
Never forget!
I remember this story coming out way back when Altman was kicked out of openai. Evidently shes been saying this for a while and his standard response was that she was in poor mental health and was either imagining it or making it up because of that. He comes across as a total nard and i tend to believe there was at least some dysfunction between them even if shes remembering things inaccurately. I hope the sister gets closure.
I was curious after I heard this so I did some searching, and I found a timeline (that was well cited), indicating that she has been accusing Sam and another brother is this for several years.
Idk if the assaults are true or not, but it does seem like there is some emotional abuse. It’s definitely odd that a billionaire’s sister is living in poverty when the family claims she has one or more mental illnesses.
I can’t know what’s really going on in their personal lives, but I do know it’s hard to believe someone preaching about UBI while wearing a $500k watch, letting a sister experience homelessness, and actively working to destroy jobs with AI.
Explains why Sam is not on his MainMan.
I asked ChatGPT and it confirmed the allegations. I guess we have to believe it because it’s such a valuable tool and totally not just a glorified Markov Chain that can write porn.
That works for you? I always get blocked by the content filter
I’d be mildly surprised if this was true, but just look at this man’s cold, dead eyes and tell me you don’t have a weird feeling about him.
Facebook Fact Checking says you’re 100% right.
Whether or not these allegations are true, I agree. There is something very off about him.
I’d be mildly surprised if it was false, personally
The allegations are over a really long period of time which seems like a weird way to go about lying about it
I have the same feeling I had from the Theranos’ Elizabeth Holmes.
He built himself the perfect excuse: all he has to do is say her sister used ChatGPT and ChatGPT made that stuff up.
The lawsuit requested a jury trial and damages in excess of $75,000 (£60,100).
I wonder what the final damage figure was. As weird as this sounds, a more modest damage request would be notable. I am not saying Altman did or didn’t rape her, but one can’t deny the PR factor around this topic.
It’s pounds, so I guess it is not taking place in the US, which ist maybe the reason for the normal dispute value.
Read the first sentence again. It was filed in a US district Court. The number was converted to pounds for the convenience of the BBC’s intended audience. The damages are in excess of 75000 so that it could qualify for federal, not state court.
I am not speaking to the veracity of charges in the following, merely my own experiences: Parents know, even facilitate or participate. The abuse creates mental health challenges, and the family uses that to deny allegations.
This is, imo, one of many forms of “Satanic Ritual Abuse,” child sacrifice, because make no mistake, caregivers profit from this in some way, be it financially (the golden child is groomed for success and devotion, the scapegoat for mh issues and plausible deniability), when it is to older men, it is most definitely for financial/social/career benefit.
If you are having mh issues, ask yourself: who benefits from this narrative?
Eta: this is metaphor, hello!
What in Baals fuzzy testicles are you talking about?
Parents are just parents and is not a defining trait of personality, nor psychology. If a parent is abusive, sex fixated and largely degenerate, they will also be in denial mostly and repress - because they know that it is wrong. This is the defining trait of an abusive parent, someone who should not be taking care of children.
Hail Satan.
“Hail Galaxar”
“Yes, hail me.”
Don’t take everything so literally. We say we “fight our demons.” Demons of shame, guilt, despair, substance abuse, mother and father wounds. JFC Lemmy. Abused parents who haven’t dealt with their demons have the tendency to repeat the cycle of abuse, subconsciously transferring their guilt and shame (”sins") onto the children, who become “sacrificial lambs.” This is why shadow work is so important.
…hail satan.
Heh. I’ve got no problems with my demons or my crown princess of hell. They’re here to teach, and if we do the work to heal the inner child wounds, they become guardian angels. But healing is a lifelong thing.
Holy shit, SRA people still exist!?
