To him that's just family. Literally. Dude needs to be in prison.

Edit: downvoting me won't change the fact he raped his four year old sister.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Don’t know why people are downvoting you, allegations are serious. He’s an abuser if his sisters claims are true and there’s a lot of them over a long span of time, they’re consistent, and the dude was fired for lying to the fucking board of directors.

Classic rich family squabbles. I do fucked up shit, mommy and daddy bail me out and target weakest of brood. Pretty standard stuff unfortunately it seems to me.

Allegedly. Saying allegedly doesn't mean she's a liar, it just means saying something is a fact has a high standard of evidence, especially when it's something as important as this.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Omg that's absolutely disgusting if true.

Is there not a single rich CEO who isn't a mental outlier in some way?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

It's a prerequisite for the role.

Haven't heard anything bad about Ryan Cohen.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

That's because he didn't grow up ultra rich. After another decade with billions he'll end up as corrupt and sociopathic as the rest of them.

John Mackey seems nice

lol, what is your standard for facts?

As far as I can see, the sexual acts are not made explicit and allegedly happened when she could barely remember or understand anything, and she went almost 2 decades without saying a word. Then they have a dispute over an inheritance for his benefit, and a couple of years later when he becomes famous she accuses him publicly without providing evidence or denouncing him to justice.

I don't think there is enough to point to, let alone the current aggressive harassment campaign; but anyway, sadly we have already seen similar things even with anonymous accusations.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Pretty common to have a hard time with details when your subconscious literally shields you from it.

What harassment campaign are you referring to? His sisters claims of a multitude of abuse?

You and every other abuse denier ought to think twice about doubting someone who’s clearly asking for help, even if they turn out to be a lying greedy shit stain. The alternative is that, if you’re wrong about it being a lie, you make someone’s hell 20x worse and give abusers power. You stand nothing to lose by standing by someone asking for help.

If you go through my comments, it’s easy to tell I’m a devils advocate addict. But when it comes to abuse claims there a pretty easy default stance you can take by siding with the abused or completely abstaining from making any judgment calls on either side until more info arises. Sometimes no stance is best.

Not to mention the reason the dude was fired from the company… sounds like a he’s a pretty classic example of a manipulative and controlling person.

Lastly need I point to rape claim statistics, and the rate at which ceos in America are sociopaths??

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You know what else is abuse? Slander and false allegations – these can easily shatter lives completely.

There's no point in your dichotomy of choosing to side with the victim or the abuser if you can't determine who is who. You only know who the accuser and accused are, and if you choose to side with the accuser without good reason, it's like deciding whether or not to support the abuser by flipping a coin; essentially a witch hunt.

You and every other abuse denier

First, you establish who the victim is, and then you unveil my dark denialist secret. Does the crystal ball have customer service in case I'm not satisfied with the divinations?

[–] [email protected] -2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

We’re in agreement on innocent until proven guilty. But that doesn’t remove the public’s opinion. Both sides are being critically looked at, so as a whole I guess we’re doing the right thing in questioning.

I just find it odd that a good natured sibling would knowingly send a sibling who has asked for money from you in the past a fucking diamond made from their father’s ashes.

That behavior right there to me starts to paint a pretty specific picture in my minds. I mean come on. Throw out all the allegations and look at just the stuff that’s provable immediately (if she took a pic of the diamond and some texts). She mentioned the abuse to her mom when she was young in a way that was consistent with abuse victims stories and there is not shot in the mother loving world that some little kid is gonna magically shit out those same patterns.

There, to me, is motive for him to act the way he has. There is evidence that he has purposely lied or withheld info from people (a board of directors nonetheless).

The dude who wrote the LW post,which was a beautiful example of good neutral writing, was nearly immediately banned on Twitter. Interesting that the same banning techniques that Annie mentions. Could be coincidence, maybe banning on Twitter happens more now with musk in charge - not sure.

This stuff just piles on and on. It just fits way damn well. He’s still innocent until the law is involved but I have to side with the alleged victim in this case, for this reasoning. I can’t see what facts could possibly come to light to change the specific things I mentioned in the paragraphs above. The sad reality, like I said, is that there’s a fair amount of actual, abusive nut jobs with money and power and they brush these little family affairs under the rug

Constantly.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

That's actually kind of scary. I left Twitter/X because of that kind of shadowbanning.

If even LessWrong is critical of the AI CEO you know something's up

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Sam Altman, the tech entrepreneur who was removed as chief executive of OpenAI on Friday by its board of directors, is in the process of pitching a new artificial intelligence start-up to investors, according to three people familiar with his plans.

OpenAI’s board of directors shocked the tech industry on Friday when it abruptly fired Mr. Altman from his position as chief executive.

Mr. Altman took a break to poke at OpenAI’s board on social media, with a joke threatening to start “going off,” or speaking candidly, about the situation.

boom late last year when it released ChatGPT, and Silicon venture capital firms raced to invest in start-ups developing similar technologies.

During a fund-raising trip last month where he met with potential investors from the Middle East, Mr. Altman spoke about A.I.-related projects, including a plan to develop custom chips for A.I.

He also spoke with Masayoshi Son, the chief executive and billionaire founder of the tech conglomerate SoftBank, about investing in an effort to build an A.I.

Will there be fewer incest rape allegations?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Ngl, I hear "incest rape allegations" and I'm thinking 4chan must be doing their thing here.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There's a website called 4chan, and they find amusement in coming up with outlandish accusations which lack any truthful foundation.

This particular accusation appears to be particularly outlandish with no apparent foundation, and thus I've attributed it to the aforementioned website 4chan.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's not how 4chan works lmao.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I mean, I've been on 4chan since like 2005, so I feel like I have a decent idea of how it works, but you're entitled to your opinion.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Seems plausible. This guy seems to be in every thread shouting rape and talking shit with the basis being tweets.

[–] [email protected] -4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You could always take one second to look the story up.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Maybe you're right, but also, I think it's fair for me to draw an inconclusive opinion until I come across further evidence. I'm not spreading misinformation or anything, just making conversation.

To be clear, I don't have a horse in this particular race. Whether it's true or not doesn't really affect me in any way.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

do you have any evidence to repeat such awful accusations? I've read other people saying the same thing but there is no evidence so far.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Haha fucking damn, that’s a curated list of sources for all claims if I’ve ever seen one.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

it might be best if you read before commenting. you'll probably hate the section titled "How to interpret these claims".

you should also try to learn about the distinction between claims and evidence.

I wish she could have been more direct about her claims. I certainly don’t think that the only specific thing she described was troubling i.e having a 13 year old boy sleeping with his sister. The incest claims are only implied. It looks like other aspects of her dramatic life are too much to be likely (almost like the world is confabulating against her) . Since the accusations are so serious I hope she can sue to get her money and punish her brother if true. And that her brother sues her for defamation if she is lying.

The downvoters should take the time to read the article. The person that wrote the compilation has their take at the end and it’s consistent with my comment. You might want to check the section titled “How to interpret these claims?”

Oh, sweet summer child…

He’s looking for early (st)age incestors
