So what whistle did he blow exactly? When I search for "openai whistleblower" all I get are articles about his murder. What info did he leak?

We can’t ask the coroner what happened, because they are out on their new boat.

C'mon, we can't expect the coroner to blow the whistle on the actual cause of death. If we did, there would soon be no coroners left.

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?

One minute they’re all like “if I die it’s definitely not suicide” and the next they are changing their mind and going through with it…
