  • OpenAI whistleblower found dead

    From JAB@21:1/5 to All on Fri Dec 13 21:13:43 2024
    OpenAI whistleblower found dead in San Francisco apartment

    Suchir Balaji, 26, claimed the company broke copyright law
    ...
    ...
    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."

    Information he held was expected to play a key part in lawsuits
    against the San Francisco-based company

    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.

    Hmm, either there are too many billions at stake, or perhaps he regretted whistle blowing?
