Ann has been trying to get attention to this issue for a long time now. I remember reading about these allegations years ago. I hope she has her day in court.

This article was posted January of this year.

In case anyone thinks this will bring any sort of immediate scrutiny, that should show you otherwise, given it's been nearly a year now with almost no coverage remaining in mainstream media or discourse.

Color me shocked that another rich & entitled person is a sex abuser and probably the worst kind.

AI companies all do have a rapist mentality, so it shouldn't be surprising that they're lead by actual rapists as well. AI companies really have a problem with consent.

This is a year old, so if you'd already heard this story, nothing new.

Honestly, is anybody at all surprised when these kinds of allegations are made against uber-aggressive "leaders" of any type? You need to open your eyes to reality if so. I feel we won't truly progress as a species unless and until we manage to stop letting the power-trippers actually have the power they always want.

That's not hard to believe given that absolutely everything else is wrong with Sam Altman too.

@grok is this true?

[–] HazardousBanjo@lemmy.world 1 points 17 minutes ago

You mean the tech-broligarch destroying the planet is a rapist?

Is there any actually shocking news today?
