So when does the all out manhunt with every possible available resource deployed to find the killer begin?
"no evidence of foul play", so a long ways away
"Looks like they slipped and shot themselves in the back if the head twice. Classic accidental death." — The cops probably.
Stuff like this happens all the time in Russia. People who live in 1 floor houses falling out of their 14th floor window for no understood reason. Windows are a mystery in Russia.......Oh, this happened in America? Well THAT'S new....
Whistleblowers are automatically overcome with grief at disappointing the high and mighty Job Creators and shoot themselves in the back of the head twice in despair.
Oh, I see how it is. They keep killing and killing, but we hit ONE CEO and shit hits the fan. Alright, then.
TBF Luigi did leave a LOT of evidence of foul play. Such as engraved bullet casings, etc.
Probably any bullet casing, engraved or otherwise, might indicate “foul play.”
Especially if it occurred in a public area with security cameras.
It's all about probabilities.
Truth is proof, and the article contains no details to establish this absolutely. So, we are left with supposition.
This wasn't an isolated man with nothing to live for - while his career in AI was over, he'd left it to pursue a moral agenda. Suicide is not likely until AFTER he testifies and discharged this.
The fact he supposedly had documents and a testimony that could heavily harm a company is enough to make it very likely his death was the cost of doing business - why pay a billion in a court case when you can pay a million for a professional hit?
On the balance of probabilities, it looks more likely to be like foul play. As they say, Epstein didn't kill himself.
So many whistleblowers ending up dead. I'm sure it's just a coincidence. Hundreds of coincidences.
Many such cases.
They are all committing suicide just like in Russia… crazy…I guess both our countries need to work on our mental health.
Einzelfälle as we say in german.
suicide
Nothing to see here bois. Always remember that US is a free country that is out of authoritarian hands. Nothing to see.
In some countries some people prefer to suicide themselves alone in their rooms without warning. In other countries, they prefer to suicide themselves by shooting themselves multiple times in the back and/or throwing themselves off of multiple storey buildings. Who can say? It's not like countries led by psychopaths who put profit margins above society, including people's lives, would ever kill people to defend their bottom line.
There's two barriers to justice in today's world: The first one is having enough money to hire lawyers. The second one is having enough money to hire bodyguards.
You gotta set up a dead man's switch (not literal give the evidence to a lawyer or do a deposition or whatever). Do that before you blow the whistle and announce that at the same time.
Its crazy how fast you die once you blow that whistle. All out class war on one side.
Lemme see, suicide from two gunshots to the back of the head?
Bill Burr has this take that corporations are the mobsters of yore, they just kneecap or whack people in different ways because the law is on their side now. Until it’s not.
Look, I'm not saying it was Skynet, but I'm also not saying it wasn't.
So you're saying he got... terminated?
It wasn't me but someone here called it
I was talking to my cousin (journalist) a while ago and she told me how she was supposed to interview a whistleblower for Anaheim PD. I snarkily commented something like, "yeah but let me guess he shot himself twice in the back of the head" and she alarmingly said "...yeah, how did you know?"
Conservative conspiracy theories: "HA! What idiots!"
Lemmy conspiracy theories: "HA! Told ya!"
Maybe ask some fucking questions?!
after receiving a call asking officers to check on his well-being
Who called and why? This seems extraordinarily important.
“currently, no evidence of foul play.”
OK. Let's see what comes out.
The MO here seems to be pressuring people in to suicide. It's been done. So...? What do we know along those lines?
SWAT doesn't need to know who called in order to go full Rambo on random citizens. Rich people pull the strings. They don't believe in accountability.
They do not send in SWAT for wellness checks
In a Nov. 18 letter filed in federal court, attorneys for The New York Times named Balaji as someone who had “unique and relevant documents” that would support their case against OpenAI. He was among at least 12 people — many of them past or present OpenAI employees — the newspaper had named in court filings as having material helpful to their case, ahead of depositions.
Unless stuff starts happening to those people, or there is some detail I missed in the article, it is much more plausible that this was suicide than some corporate hit, let alone one carried out using police violence? Is that what you were implying?
they were only 26. fuck sakes.
I know this is off topic and not really that important but i can never stop myself from pointing this out about a commonly misused phrase.
Its not fuck sakes, because a fuck doesn't sake
Its fuck's sake, because the sake belongs to the fuck.
Its fuck's sake, because the sake belongs to the fuck.
Laughed for like a solid 2mins. Well done, fellow Lemming.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
