> US District Judge Zachary Bluestone dismissed Ann Altman’s suit alleging that her brother, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, sexually abused her throughout her childhood. The judge cited her failure to attend an independent medical examination and meet other deadlines. The dismissal bars her from refiling the case in that court; the judge denied Sam Altman’s request for attorney fees and costs.
