  "account": "A private list containing over a hundred alleged sexual predators in Silicon Valley has reportedly surfaced, according to the New York Post. The list, not publicly available, reportedly includes prominent investors and businessmen, as well as details of abuse allegations such as drugging, sexual assaults, and rape. One up-and-coming woman in tech told the Post that the list contains names of \"very prominent names, you know? People who were famous investors\" and \"businessmen who were in the scene, I had seen them at parties before.\"\n\nThe list is selectively distributed, likely to protect those who made the allegations. Some women in the industry meet through a \"whisper network\" to add their accounts to the list, as one woman explained to the Post. The fear of retaliation from accused individuals can prevent women from going to the police, which could harm their careers and professional relationships. One woman expressed her concern that if she pursued justice and lost, she would be \"blacklisted from every investor in town.\"\n\nThe list has emerged amid increased scrutiny of the \"frat-like culture\" dominating the AI industry. The New York Times recently published an investigation revealing numerous sexual harassment cases and rape allegations stemming from \"hacker houses,\" large mansions where dozens of ambitious young tech workers often live and party together. These hacker houses, backed by top industry figures, provide networking opportunities, as seen with the AGI House, which has logged 37 police incidents since 2022. One member of Genesis, another hacker house, was accused of rape and assault. Yehong Zhu, who accused a Genesis member, claims she was discouraged by a house organizer from going to the police and that many in the industry refused to assist her in tracking down the alleged attacker.",
