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.
Weren't there two boing suicides? Or the second one was something more creative, I think.
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"

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?
Yeah, everyone knows that people who have the courage to blow the whistle when they see awful shit, are likely to kill themselves before they can share that information with anyone... Makes complete sense.
Same with Aaron Swartz.
Alright... is there something I don't know. I was not aware that Aaron Swartz' death was a Boeing suicide.
Very similar story to the guy above. I mean, very similar!
Except Aaron was being prosecuted for pirating open scientific papers. He was being heavily pressured by the FBI and was facing serious fines and jail time.
It’s less surprising that he took his own life in that situation. I know less about the OpenAI whistleblower, but it seems much more suspicious from here.
Why does the news increasingly sound like the lore of Cyberpunk 2077?
...but without the fucking cool stuff.
Give it 52 years and we'll have more cool stuff, plus 300% more ads.
We got some of it, its just that killer drones and SI aren't as cool on this side of the screen, and the cyberware is only for rich people (though there is a growing 3D printed movement for amputees) That said with some craft skills we can at least make the cool punk armor and kneepads and have it be reasonably functional, even deploy a blade if you're ambitious, though more predator than mantis in that regard.
Be the change you want to see.
Sigh, it really does.
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.
Bullshit
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.
Kinda like when all those whistle-blowers in Russia accidently fall out the window.
Devs was a fun show.
Did he fall out a window?
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?
