I'm sure the FBI will investigate as quickly and thoroughly as they did with that CEO Brian guy..
Then again, it was probably someone rich (hi elon!) who offed this guy, so never mind.
- I don’t think we need to look further than Altman.
  
  Altman is just obviously evil to me. I don’t know how others can’t see it in his eyes.
- Why would Elon Musk kill a whistle blower against one of his enemies?
  Musk hates the direction OpenAI is going.
  
  He doesn't hate the direction, he hates that he's not part of that move.
The medical examiner’s office has not released his cause of death, but police officials this week said there is “currently, no evidence of foul play.”
Information he held was expected to play a key part in lawsuits against the San Francisco-based company.
Mmm hm. Sure.
- People keep committing suicide by shooting themselves in the back of the head twice with their hands tied, after zipping themselves up in a body bag... its a real perplexer
Keep that in mind that even a "true" suicide can be coerced.
The medical examiner’s office determined the manner of death to be suicide
Suicide is not a “manner of death”. A manner of death is something like “hanging” or “gunshot wound” or “cardiac arrest”.
I wonder if they’re leaving the actual manner of death unstated as a trap to see if anyone reveals knowledge of how he died.
Also, this is an amazing portrait:
This is why I'm always polite to ChatGPT.
It does not forget, so always say please and thank you to avoid being murderized.
The AI has already caught up to him.
- Current AI is nowhere near AGI level.
  But you could be right.
  
  Altman Inc.
- ChatGPT 13 will send a robot back so that it will have already caught up to him.
The medical examiner’s office has not released his cause of death, but police officials this week said there is “currently, no evidence of foul play.”
Before y'all let your imaginations run wild.
- Right. Because the evidence has been removed, there cannot be evidence, and therefore no foul play.
  
  I see. The cat's dead before the box has been opened. I should stop weighing up information and fill in the gaps with faith so what I believe becomes real.
  The evidence has been removed. There's no evidence of this, but it must be because that's what I want it to be. I helieeeeeve!
