On Sunday evening, I had the worst experience I’ve ever had with @Airbnb.
A few hours before arriving in Hamburg for OMR, a conference that brings more than 70,000 people to the city, my booking was suddenly cancelled.
I immediately contacted customer support, expecting them to help me find another place.
Instead, they told me they couldn’t assist because “Airbnb didn’t cancel your booking, the host did.”
Excuse me?
This happened around 11 PM.
I spent the entire night on calls with customer support and did not sleep at all.
At around 1 AM, things got even worse.
I received a message saying I was no longer allowed to make bookings on Airbnb because my account had been flagged as potentially dangerous.
I honestly couldn’t believe what was happening.
I was traveling with my three-month-old baby. I explained that multiple times. It made no difference.
No meaningful help.
No travel credits.
My account was blocked.
And by the time I arrived in Hamburg, I had to scramble to find a hotel on my own.
The ironic part?
There was no AI involved in this experience. Only humans following scripts and passing me from one person to another.
And, Brian, I genuinely wish I had been dealing with AI instead.
It would have been faster, more logical, and probably far more empathetic than the people I spoke with that night.
What shocked me most was realizing how few real alternatives there are to Airbnb.
At midnight I was completely on my own trying to solve a problem that should never have happened in the first place.
Worst customer experience I’ve had in years.
In fact, nothing undermines public confidence in the judiciary quite like radical judges preventing justice from being done.
Judgements and sentences divorced from Common Law can quickly dissolve a thousand-year foundation of public confidence.
Public confidence doesn't stand a chance in the face of activist judges making findings based on a caste system of oppression narrative based on skin colour, rather than personal responsibility, the very underpinning of an ordered society.
If the CBA were really concerned about public confidence, they would be looking within their profession. They'll find the rot is coming from within.
🚨BREAKING: The CEO of the most valuable private company in history is being sued by his own sister for s*xual abuse.
A judge just allowed the case to move forward.
Annie Altman filed an amended lawsuit on April 1, 2026 in St. Louis federal court accusing her brother Sam Altman of sexually abusing and raping her between 1997 and 2006. She says the abuse started when she was 3 years old and he was 12.
A judge dismissed the original claims because the statute of limitations expired in 2008. But he allowed her to refile under Missouri's Childhood Sexual Abuse law. She did. The case is now active.
Sam Altman denied everything. Called it extortion. Filed a defamation countersuit against his own sister based on social media posts she made between 2021 and 2024. His family says she has mental health challenges.
Annie posted videos saying she was "touched by older siblings" and that "an almost tech billionaire" molested her. The judge said those statements make it reasonable to infer she meant Sam Altman.
This is the same man whose own board of directors fired him in 2023. Former board member Helen Toner said two senior executives came forward with screenshots and documentation. They used the words "psychological abuse." Said he was lying and manipulating people. Said they had no belief he could change.
The board fired him secretly because they knew he'd try to undermine them. He came back five days later. Employees were told either Sam comes back or the company dies.
This wasn't his first time. The management team at his first startup Loopt went to the board twice asking to fire him for "deceptive and chaotic behavior." He was reportedly pushed out of Y Combinator too.
Every safety leader who clashed with him left. Musk. Sutskever. Amodei. When Jan Leike resigned he said "safety culture has taken a backseat to shiny products."
OpenAI was forcing departing employees to sign agreements saying if they ever criticize the company they lose all their equity. Millions of dollars. When it leaked Altman said he didn't know. The CEO didn't know what was in his own exit contracts.
He asked Scarlett Johansson to voice ChatGPT. She said no. Twice. They made a voice that sounded just like her anyway. Altman tweeted "her" on launch day. She had to hire lawyers to get them to stop.
Forbes says he's worth $3.3 billion. The Musk trial starts April 27. His sister's case is now active. His own board fired him for lying. His own executives called it psychological abuse.
And this is the guy the world is trusting with AI.
@hell_line0 I definitely would believe her if I were you. Georgia Tann stole ppl kids from the 1920s until the 1950s selling them to rich families. Tann died 3days before she went to trial and stole over 5 thousand children! She was one of many. Crazy stuff!
