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.

    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.

    Sorry, but the new facebook community-fact-checking says Altman totally raped his sister and also did unspeakable things to the family dog.

    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.

    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.
