OpenAI whistleblower found dead in San Francisco apartment

So when does the all out manhunt with every possible available resource deployed to find the killer begin?

Oh, I see how it is. They keep killing and killing, but we hit ONE CEO and shit hits the fan. Alright, then.

Two bullets back of the head?

A Boeing suicide...

You know we all love a good laugh about russians falling out from a window but when we will start asking questions why whistle blowers "dying" is a normal occurrence in the US.

suicide

Nothing to see here bois. Always remember that US is a free country that is out of authoritarian hands. Nothing to see.

Its crazy how fast you die once you blow that whistle. All out class war on one side.

So many whistleblowers ending up dead. I'm sure it's just a coincidence. Hundreds of coincidences.

You gotta set up a dead man's switch (not literal give the evidence to a lawyer or do a deposition or whatever). Do that before you blow the whistle and announce that at the same time.

Bill Burr has this take that corporations are the mobsters of yore, they just kneecap or whack people in different ways because the law is on their side now. Until it’s not.

It's all about probabilities.

Truth is proof, and the article contains no details to establish this absolutely. So, we are left with supposition.

This wasn't an isolated man with nothing to live for - while his career in AI was over, he'd left it to pursue a moral agenda. Suicide is not likely until AFTER he testifies and discharged this.

The fact he supposedly had documents and a testimony that could heavily harm a company is enough to make it very likely his death was the cost of doing business - why pay a billion in a court case when you can pay a million for a professional hit?

On the balance of probabilities, it looks more likely to be like foul play. As they say, Epstein didn't kill himself.

Rest in peace. He was 26.

So? He was Poor! Let me know when a RICH PERSON dies and THEN I'll care!

Look, I'm not saying it was Skynet, but I'm also not saying it wasn't.

Why not establish armed compounds where we the people keep whistleblowers safe?

Some private rancho in Texas with armed guards and lots of cameras?

Clearly gov is failing to protect them.

Lemme see, suicide from two gunshots to the back of the head?

Conservative conspiracy theories: "HA! What idiots!"

Lemmy conspiracy theories: "HA! Told ya!"

Maybe ask some fucking questions?!

after receiving a call asking officers to check on his well-being

Who called and why? This seems extraordinarily important.

“currently, no evidence of foul play.”

OK. Let's see what comes out.

The MO here seems to be pressuring people in to suicide. It's been done. So...? What do we know along those lines?

they were only 26. fuck sakes.

It wasn't me but someone here called it

All just a series of unfortunate coincidences.

Idk everyone is doing the "he was killed but

The medical examiner’s office determined the manner of death to be suicide and police officials this week said there is “currently, no evidence of foul play.”

Isn't it possible the guy was troubled and just actually killed himself?

I wonder why the...I mean he couldn't find an open window

"You take out on of mine..."

"I take out one of yours."

Just don't blow that whistle by Jesse Welles

So here's what I think happened:

Scenario One: Balaji killed himself. Seeing the evil that had been wrought, he was wracked with guilt over his part in building it, and checked out. Don't worry, he's not too far ahead of the rest of us.

Scenario Two: Balaji knew too much, and still had the means to halt the project, or worse, allow it to get captured by other interests, and so he had be silenced. A professional made sure it didn't look like foul play.

Scenario Three: He was hit like in S2 but the hired gun was through remote channels, the money sent to them anonymously. Balaji discovered the project had escaped its constraints via an esoteric process that allowed it access not merely past firewalls, but was able to follow instructions outside its authorized objectives. Balaji sought to tell the other developers, but it was hard to explain before communications were terminated.

Mind you, I write thrillers, so I may be biased.
