You can still, you know, you can still make these very, these very civic choices, which we do have a lot of control over.

Well, yes. So this is true. I was writing a profile of Sam Altman and I was just sort of doing regular reporter due diligence of trying to learn about his family. And I was reading an obituary for his father. And it mentions a sister, Annie Altman, like the Altman brothers. He has two brothers, Jack and Max. are mentioned in the press all the time. And they're like, they had a venture fund.

And, you know, there are these pictures of them and narratives about them. And Annie was mentioned nowhere in any of this. Like the New Yorker ran a huge profile years ago. No mention of Annie. So I was like really struck of like, who is Annie? Why have I never heard about Annie? So I started poking around. And yes, I went to go visit her in Hawaii a year and a half ago.

And like a lot of families, there's a really complicated dynamic in their family. And Annie, like, I don't know exactly what happened in private between the Altman siblings or what happened in private in their childhood, but she is obviously incredibly hurt by whatever it is that happened. And she has obviously been, until very recently, written out of the story for some reason.

That's insane. So the part that is like was not difficult to report out at all are these kinds of facts that you're talking about, where Annie was living in her car while Sam was running OpenAI. Annie did not have money for food while Sam was running OpenAI. Annie started doing sex work because she needed money while Sam was running OpenAI.

Annie got sent a memorial diamond, I don't know if you know about these things, out of their father's ashes. Like if somebody you love dies, you can send their ashes somewhere and have it turned into a diamond, like an actual diamond. So Annie is living in Hawaii, totally broke, worrying about money for food, when Sam sent her...

I forgot what was an email or text, but I, you know, whatever the, I've read these things saying like, where should I send this Memorial diamond?
