Jeff Jarvis is a tech giant cheerleader. He scolded the New York Times from social media for publishing Suchir Balaji's whistleblower claims against OpenAI.

Shortly after this, OpenAI's ex-employee Suchir Balaji was found dead in his apartment. And Balaji's parents say signs of foul play were found.
