    Whistleblower deaths should have all of a company’s director’s investigated by default. It may be that 99% are innocent, but just one or two seeing their massively valuable stock, and options in danger, may be driven to such actions on their own.

    When the working class kills a CEO, there’s a reward by the FBI and is found in a week. When a company does it, the world is silent.

    RIP. Hope that his whistleblowing doesn’t end up falling on deaf ears

    His AI GF must’ve convinced him to shoot himself in the back of the head with a shotgun twice.

      He had hard proof chat gpt used copyright work to train. Opening them up to lawsuits of said copyright holders and basically collapsing the whole company.

      I didn’t even read the article. I just barely skimmed it and guess what I found within 2 seconds.

      “Balaji’s death comes three months after he publicly accused OpenAI of violating U.S. copyright law while developing ChatGPT, a generative artificial intelligence program that has become a moneymaking sensation used by hundreds of millions of people across the world.”

      You don’t even need “Hard” proof. The mere fact that ChatGPT “knows” about certain things indicate that it ingested certain copyrighted works. There are countless examples. Can it quote a book you like? Does it know the plot details? There is no other way for it to get certain information about such things.

      It was more of an opinion piece. They were already being sued and he didn’t bring any new info forward from what I understand.

    We’re truly in a dystopian future when big tech nerds are doing mafia hits. Reminds me of that guy in Better Call Saul that hired Mike as a bodyguard.

    Police say it appears to be a suicide. Probably true, honestly, but that doesn’t mean he wasn’t driven to it.

      “He blew the whistle on a multibillion dollar company - obviously he knew they’d kill him! Suicide.”

      Police say it appears to be a suicide.

      Let me guess: it was less than 30 stabs that they found in his back?
