An ex-OpenAI employee who publicly accused the company of violating copyright law was found dead in his San Francisco apartment. As the media wrote, he had evidence that would “destroy” the company.
The body of 26-year-old Sukhir Balaji was discovered on November 26. But now the police said it was suicide, writes the New York Post. Afterwards, a real nightmare began on social networks. People are sure that the IT specialist was killed. And here's why.
The then inexperienced Balaji got a job at OpenAI in 2020. He helped coach ChatGPT, but then became disillusioned and quit. This fall, the guy said that OpenAI was violating copyright law by training a neuron on the work of writers, programmers and journalists. They say that such a training model is harmful to business and can destroy the intellectual property market. After this, there were a bunch of lawsuits against the company and a lot of hype in the media.
On November 18 (eight days before his death), The Times stated that Balaji's documents were unique and would be used in court against OpenAI. But Sukhir did not live to see the trial. It is unknown whether his notes have been preserved anywhere.
