OpenAI chief executive Sam Altman accused of sexual abuse by sister in lawsuit
Tech entrepreneur and family say Ann Altman’s claims that abuse started in childhood are ‘utterly untrue’
So did we design a system that only rewards psychopaths and rapists? Because it seems like anyone with any ounce of power is a psycho, a rapist, or both.
Yes, capitalism rewards sociopaths the most, as they are the most willing to exploit other people for profit.
All systems so far for the entirety of human history have rewarded psychopaths and rapists as far as I can tell.
It sounds like you're really pessimistic regarding humans and their systems.
Are you in a friend group that rewards psychopaths and rapists? Have you entered relationships where psychopaths and rapists have been rewarded? If so, do you know about scaled evolutionary approaches, and how it's a good idea to join groups where your own incentives are aligned with that of the group? Do you know about the Duluth Model and CBT's 5% reduction in recidivism of abuse, as well as ACT's 30 to 70% reductions in recidivism of abuse (depending on whether people join voluntarily or not)?
Those systems (the Duluth Model, CBT, and especially ACT) are not rewarding psychopaths. They are transforming people into reflexive and non-abusive people.

Agreed, sadly. I mean look at Moses. Seriously, read the chapters about him going up the mountain, coming back with the big list of rules, then ordering the killing thousands of the people who'd followed him into the desert, because they didn't obey the rules while he was away getting the big list of rules. Psycho.
Then he said to them, “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: ‘Each man strap a sword to his side. Go back and forth through the camp from one end to the other, each killing his brother and friend and neighbor.’ ” The Levites did as Moses commanded, and that day about three thousand of the people died.
I wouldn't say it only rewards psychopaths and rapists, but it does take a specific type of person to be at the very top of the all time rich people lists.
The character traits often used to describe those types of people often align pretty closely with regular psychopaths except these ones are ultra wealthy and therefore harder to shut down because of their massive wealth and influence.
Poor psychopaths can't get outta nearly as many situations by just throwing money at people so they tend to get caught by the system.
All that being said there are "good" rich and powerful people but they aren't narcissistic or egotistical so they tend to fly under the radar and not catch my much media attention.
I know Myspace Tom isn't considered ultra wealthy as he only has a piddly couple hundred million dollars, but the guy made one of the most influential early social media websites and then sold it and dipped out of the public eye entirely. Now he does photography and just lives his life.
We need more Myspace Toms and less Elon Musks.
In essence, psychopaths and rapists are by their nature inclined to desire power over others since they're intraspecies predators. Any system that permits them significant power over others will inherently attract them. Like Capitalism, for instance.
If you have basic morals you probably wouldn't ever be in their place, so probably yeah
Basically, yeah.
David lynch lived his whole life, mostly in a position of power and no accusations. Almost seems unbelievable, which is…pretty sad in itself.
It is simply bias. How much do you hear about those that are perfectly normal? Those that specially do not want to be in public but live their lives in privacy?
It's always the people you suspect the most.
Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, molested his sister starting when she was 3 until 12 years old. All his fans on X can talk about is how altruistic it must have been.
I mean, what was the 3 year old wearing? like ..sexy things?
/s
I actually grossed myself out with that one. The really sad thing is that people will care more that Altman lost out to other countries AI innovation than they will about him being a sister molester and pedophile.
“He’s worth a lot of money so it doesn’t count.” - the US justice system
Maybe not after all the DeepSeek stuff
Well I'm shocked.
He seems so trustworthy.
If this is true then Jesus fucking Christ get this guy in prison
Timewarp is right, I thought “Am I having a stroke” halfway through, half convinced it was like the onion shootings copypasta, then I saw the date.
I wasn’t surprised the first time either.
Sure is interesting how she "suddenly" remembered all this after Altman gained fame.
She's been talking about it for a while just no one cared cause her molester was considered to be some AI God.
sURe iS InTEreStinG lmao piss off to back under your bridge wanker
I hope you don't have any sisters.
You think it's all about that whopping $75k in damages, yeah?
