Der verstorbene OpenAI-Whistleblower wurde als Zeuge gegen das Unternehmen betrachtet

“Suchir Balaji, a former OpenAI engineer and whistleblower was found dead in his San Francisco apartment on 26 November in what police said “appeared to be a suicide. No evidence of foul play was found during the initial investigation.” 

… He told the AP that he had grown gradually more disillusioned with OpenAI, especially after the internal turmoil that led its board of directors to fire and then rehire the CEO, Sam Altman, last year.

But of the “bag of issues” he was concerned about, he said, he was focusing on copyright as the one it was “actually possible to do something about”.

He acknowledged that it was an unpopular opinion within the AI research community, which is accustomed to pulling data from the internet, but said “they will have to change and it’s a matter of time”

He later told the Associated Press he would “try to testify” in the strongest copyright infringement cases and considered a lawsuit brought by the New York Times last year to be the “most serious”. Times lawyers named him in an 18 November court filing as someone who might have “unique and relevant documents” supporting allegations of OpenAI’s willful copyright infringement.”

I know a guy who does work for Boeing… He’s very good.
