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?
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…
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.
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
Careful what you say on threads such as these, OpenAIs Basilisk might be reading
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.
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?
he was an important informant in an OpenAI lawsuit
OpenAI has entered the chat^
“Whistleblower” because he was a lifeguard and those pesky kids keep getting too far from the beach.

Oh I imagined a volleyball coach
I nean it’s not like he was a “whistleblower” in the sense of unckvering grave legal violations. It was more like a dislike for the company ethics. Which can still kill your career.
His career is dead, you can bet that
I’ve heard rumors that he himself might be dead too.

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.
