potentiallynotfelixSuchir Balaji: OpenAI whistleblower found dead in 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?
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.
DoomWhy is that important? No you assume they are/were killed until someone has some real fuckin proof about it
zarkanianYou can’t prove a negative.
Yes you can. Mathematicians do it all the time.
You literally just tried to prove a negative. You tried to accuse someone of lying with no evidence. I don’t think you’ll arguing in good faith here
That’s literally how police investigations work you start assuming a crime has been committed and trying to see if you can find evidence of a crime being committed.
You don’t start assuming mean suicide by default. Not unless you’re a corrupt cop anyway.
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.
