If I die in the midst of whistleblowing, I hereby give permission for everyone to not ignore that fact.
If you look at Aaron Schwartz for example you see they don’t have to assassinate you, they just have so many lawyers, making so many threats, with so much money/power behind them, people feel scared and powerless.
I don’t think OpenAI called in a hit job, but I think they spent millions of dollars to drive him into financial and emotional desperation - which in our system, is legal.
Why? What do you know about OpenAI beyond the cute 12 days videos or Sam Altman's modest demeanor in interviews?
On the other hand, what makes you think they spent "millions of dollars" to cause him desperation?
