Yep, he definitely got suicided. It without question was a staged murder setup to lead investigators to deem it as such...

And American cops are all too happy to take one less murder case if there’s any room to say it was a suicide. They’re not looking to add unsolved murders, especially ones that implicate he most powerful companies and men in the world.

Balaji's parents claim to have evidence from their independent investigation, such as ballistic evidence from the private autopsy, which they claim shows a downwards bullet travel path that would be impossible by a self-administered gunshot. Balaji's parents also claim that a tuft of wig hair found at the scene that did not belong to Suchir represents unexplained evidence.

Indeed, Balaji’s death — of a self-inflicted gunshot, per the San Francisco County Medical Examiner’s report — had become a focal point in debates over AI ethics, corporate accountability, and the dangers faced by whistleblowers in Silicon Valley. Whether these things become disentangled now remains to be seen.

Bet they don’t

Yeah, you just threatened a $600 billion a year industry and no one murdered you.

if you plan to whistleblow something, always plan it thoroughly so you cant be silenced by being murdered.

Oh oops! Good catch.

Suuuuure it was.

Wow that must be pretty crazy to do this to yourself

I'll throw a wild one out there. OpenAI didn't do it. Maybe Elon is in on this one. Makes OpenAI look shady after their recent rebuff of his shit and gives the media something else to chew on while he's dismantling our government with the cheeto emperor.

Or is it exactly the reason Sam Altman was ready to line up for the inauguration with bribe in hand?
