    OpenAI is a slimy company with slimy leadership that hoovers up people’s work without permission and without punlishment, and turns scientific discoveries into a walled garden of overhyped spam generators.

    Do they really need a whistleblower to tell us this?

    You’ve heard about a Boeing suicide, no we have new age OpenAI suicide.

    People love mocking Russians when their “leaders” fall out of windows, but where are these people when corpos kill plebs within US?

      As someone living in Russia, we don’t do this window joke. We joke about sugar in Ryazan (aka Putin blows up houses), we joke about 146%, we joke about poisoned tea.

      There’s also been a story of a group of anarchists trying to build some kind of an organization and reproducing “Lord of the Flies” in process, resulting in murders of two of them and the rest trying to cover it up, it’s still not certain that the one who came clear is in fact the murderer ; interesting that those murders were the only thing to interest law enforcement until a few years later, when the group as a whole formally not breaking any laws stopped being a hindrance. Point being - there are sometimes suspicions that groups like this are often intentionally created by FSB agents or whatever, to attract people likely to feel this way.

      And when I was reading about where the window joke comes from, it’s about a couple of scientists falling out of windows about the same time. I suppose with the defense-related (and in general strategic projects) corruption there could be some principled positions leading to murders covered up as suicides.

        Second one had enough plausible deniability to permit neo lib regime whores to label it as a “conspiracy theory”

        They will pretend that the first one did not happen or that it was a fluke in the system of “democracy”

      You assumed it was about being fair. People just like to shit on russia to distract from internal problems, it was never about the “people falling out of the window” thing.

      What kind of info do you think they could have had? With boeing, it’s probably something about corruption, pocketing state subsidy money that should have gone to actual projects, or something similar.

    Indeed, Balaji’s death — of a self-inflicted gunshot, per the San Francisco County Medical Examiner’s report — had become a focal point in debates over AI ethics, corporate accountability, and the dangers faced by whistleblowers in Silicon Valley. Whether these things become disentangled now remains to be seen.

    Bet they don’t

    How many times did he shoot himself?

    I mean there is a pattern to these things.
    If Putin doesn’t like you, you shoot yourself and then jump out of a building.
    If the Clintons don’t like you, you shoot yourself twice in the back of the head before driving your car off a cliff.
    If you have dirt on powerful people, you hang yourself in prison.

      According to the police records, the man committed suicide by shooting himself twice in the back of his head.

      edit: after reading your comment more carefully, you actually already mentioned that. oopsie.

        And American cops are all too happy to take one less murder case if there’s any room to say it was a suicide. They’re not looking to add unsolved murders, especially ones that implicate he most powerful companies and men in the world.

    I’ll throw a wild one out there. OpenAI didn’t do it. Maybe Elon is in on this one. Makes OpenAI look shady after their recent rebuff of his shit and gives the media something else to chew on while he’s dismantling our government with the cheeto emperor.

    Can someone fill me in on the missing info here…

    How is it that Zuck has been busted (basically) for training his ai on 80TB of pirated materials via torrents and it seems to be getting swept under the rug, yet this poor guy points out Sam Altman doing the same and he’s suicided?
