This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
The San Francisco medical examiner's office determined his death to be suicide and police found no evidence of foul play.
Does anyone else find it statistically significant how often whistle blowers commit suicide within a few days of releasing information or making a statement?
One minute they’re all like “if I die it’s definitely not suicide” and the next they are changing their mind and going through with it…
"Those wacky whistleblowers always kill themselves when their lie is exposed" -The Man
We need to start holding companies accountable when their actions lead to someone’s suicide.
It was the Basilisk!
Woooooooo
It's funny how all those who blow whistles are so suicidal
And how suddenly the police does not feel the need for a huge manhunt to find the assassin
Whistles, a gateway to suicide.
Well, speaking as someone who came to realize that I was working for a company that was ripping off its customers, you've already gone through a LOT of stress before you get to that point.
We can’t ask the coroner what happened, because they are out on their new boat.
C'mon, we can't expect the coroner to blow the whistle on the actual cause of death. If we did, there would soon be no coroners left.
Hah! That’s good.
So what whistle did he blow exactly? When I search for "openai whistleblower" all I get are articles about his murder. What info did he leak?
I asked ChatGPT: Suchir balaji in cat terms how did openai kill him
Flicks tail in curiosity Ah, Suchir Balaji... pauses, eyes narrowing The idea of "killing" is a bit... tricky, isn't it? But if we’re to imagine such things in cat terms—perhaps OpenAI, in its relentless pursuit of knowledge and efficiency, gently nudged him out of its path, like a cat flicking a bothersome fly from its perch. Too many ideas, too much complexity—an ultimate shift in focus. Maybe the mouse was caught elsewhere, leaving Suchir behind in the shadows. But cats don’t judge, no—just observe, always from the edge.
So what type of chatgpt did you use. Because thats so on point i wanna give it a try.
Something tells me he had self-inflicted gunshot wounds to the back of the head.
Three, actually
What the hell? Is this fucking Russia?
Soon™
Careful what you say on threads such as these, OpenAIs Basilisk might be reading
That’s a scary thought
Well this will certainly be more of a thing.
Maybe next time they can fall out of a balcony they didn't actually have to make it SUPER OBVIOUS what just happened.
Need to make sure they only stay in first floor locations or places without windows. Whistle blowers gonna be pushed out of windows just like Daddy Vladdy likes.
I guess the apartment windows didn't open otherwise he would have been thrown himself out of it, I'm sure
No foul play... I bet there was major evidence of a struggle in his apartment.
"Whistleblower" because he had a negative opinion on his former company?
he was an important informant in an OpenAI lawsuit
OpenAI has entered the chat^
The article really doesn’t point to any damning thing he said. We’re left to speculate whether he was actually saying they knowingly flaunted copyright laws.
