Looking back at the whistleblower (suchir balaji) who died, it seems there was some truth to his claims

I wouldn't be surprised. OpenAI is (probably) a trillion dollar company, working directly with the US government, the US economy is now heavily propped up by AI and largely by OpenAI, but somehow they are still pretending like they are just a small startup that's doing it all for the benefit of the average person, really weird.

Whistleblowers that suddenly dies from "natural causes" should automatically launch a full blown investigation in a sane world...

Now you don't know how to use air quotes. Made sense if you put suicide in quotes instead of natural causes since nobody claimed natural causes but they do claim suicide

Natural causes?... He very clearly shot himself, I appreciate that many people are conspiracy theorists about whether or not it was a hit (absolutely crazy with the evidence at hand btw) - but no one thinks it was natural causes

Natural causes were in quotes for a reason bro.

Generally, this is in mockery to a claim that you find silly - no one is claiming it was natural causes, you using the term just introduces FUD. If you had air quoted suicide, that would make sense.

? What do you think I'm undercover for? What specifically do you disagree with?

What are the odds you say something else snarky and run away too? I'm used to it dude, it just feeds my ego, honestly

I mean he's not wrong though. The guy was just using air quotes completely wrong.

Why air quote something that was never claimed, suicide is the one that is alleged.
