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.
Cool story bro, how is that relevant to anything though
So what type of chatgpt did you use. Because thats so on point i wanna give it a try.
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.
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 need to start holding companies accountable when their actions lead to someone’s suicide.
One minute they’re all like “if I die it’s definitely not suicide” and the next they are changing their mind and going through with it…
“Those wacky whistleblowers always kill themselves when their lie is exposed” -The Man
Yes, but it’s important to not immediately assume that it’s because they’ve been killed.
I’d wager a statistically significant amount of whistleblowers are actually just liars looking to get recognition. When their lie catches up with them, they realize they’ve lost the one thing they had going for them and decide to end it all.
In the digital age where information can be shared so freely and so easily, there’s not really an excuse for whistleblowers to be like “wait until THIS date” before revealing their information.
Why is that important? No you assume they are/were killed until someone has some real fuckin proof about it
Well, all the evidence points to a suicide so you don’t really have a point here.
Haha okay present your evidence
The San Francisco medical examiner’s office determined his death to be suicide and police found no evidence of foul play.
Do you have any evidence that invalidates this?
You can’t prove a negative.
This isn’t proving a negative? Lol.
This whistleblower is dead, they would be suspect #1 along with close family and friends. This is literally what the first step of an investigation should look like.
Yes you can. Mathematicians do it all the time.
But that’s beside the point. I can prove you didn’t kill yourself by showing that someone else did
That’s literally how police investigations work, you start assuming a crime has been committed and try to see if you can find evidence of a crime being committed.
You don’t start assuming suicide by default. Not unless you’re a corrupt cop anyway.

So do you have some research stating that or is it just a sort of feeling?
Because that’s an incredibly wild allegation to be making, impeaching someone’s veracity, especially after a fatality, should absolutely come with some kind of evidence.
It’s just speculation. I don’t know, I could be wrong, but I’d wager I’m right.
Do you think there’s not a statistically significant amount of whistleblowers who are liars?
This, ladies and gentlemen and all those in between, is what the professionals call “talking out of your ass.”
Uhh, no. I didn’t say it was true, I said I think it would be true.
If you equate that to “talking out of my ass” then you need to work on your reading comprehension.
I cannot possibly say but what I would say is that there is a significantly higher likelihood than what he is saying is correct. Given that you basically can prove it for yourself by simply asking the AI to quote copyrighted content, the fact that it can do that rather demonstrates that copyright content was acquired illegally, and if the copyright holders never talked to openAI, then openAI by definition never got permission.
It’s weird that you would assume malice on everyone’s behalf by default, what would they have to gain by it?

Can you read? I never assumed malice on everyone’s behavior. I said a statistically significant amount.
Yep and I’ve asked you and you’ve got no statistics.
I think there’s not enough evidence to prove that, so no. Why would you lie in the way that you’re most likely going to be killed from?

What does this mean?
Whistleblowing is high risk and people get killed for it?
What evidence do you have for this?
statistically significant amount of whistleblowers are actually just liars … When their lie catches up with them … decide to end it all"
This is a very unlikely situation.
These stories of nefarious liars abusing poor defenseless corporations would be publicized widely if true. We’d have prominent, well known examples.
This needs people who think the threats and reputational damage of being a whistleblower are worth it for the ‘recognition’, who are smart enough to construct a believable sounding claim but not smart enough to see the inevitable consequences. That specific kind of person is going to be much rarer than people who work for a legitimately shitty company and don’t like it.
Fair point, although I can’t say I agree with it fully
I guess the apartment windows didn’t open otherwise he would have been thrown himself out of it, I’m sure
What do you think this is, Russia?
It’s funny how all those who blow whistles are so suicidal
And how suddenly the police does not feel the need for a huge manhunt to find the assassin
Whistles, a gateway to suicide.
Careful what you say on threads such as these, OpenAIs Basilisk might be reading
That’s a scary thought
We can’t ask the coroner what happened, because they are out on their new boat.
C’mon, we can’t expect the coroner to blow the whistle on the actual cause of death. If we did, there would soon be no coroners left.
Hah! That’s good.
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.
Need to make sure they only stay in first floor locations or places without windows. Whistle blowers gonna be pushed out of windows just like Daddy Vladdy likes.
“Whistleblower” because he had a negative opinion on his former company?
The article really doesn’t point to any damning thing he said. We’re left to speculate whether he was actually saying they knowingly flaunted copyright laws.
he was an important informant in an OpenAI lawsuit
OpenAI has entered the chat^

His career is dead, you can bet that
I’ve heard rumors that he himself might be dead too.
deleted by creator
I would refrain from saying he took his life while worried about his career.
He most likely wasn’t in a good mental state and needed support from his friends and family. Healthy people can tolerate a lot more than career death.

Even if you are completely closed of from AI as a profession, there are still way more possibilities, even in the same general field(computer science).
Even then you could go through a career change. He looks like hes in his 20s or 30s which isnt late at all.
