It's funny how all those who blow whistles are so suicidal

    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?

    We can’t ask the coroner what happened, because they are out on their new boat.

    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.

    "Whistleblower" because he had a negative opinion on his former company?

    I guess the apartment windows didn't open otherwise he would have been thrown himself out of it, I'm sure

    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.

    Something tells me he had self-inflicted gunshot wounds to the back of the head.

    No foul play... I bet there was major evidence of a struggle in his apartment.
