Conservative conspiracy theories: "HA! What idiots!"

Lemmy conspiracy theories: "HA! Told ya!"

Maybe ask some fucking questions?!

after receiving a call asking officers to check on his well-being

Who called and why? This seems extraordinarily important.

“currently, no evidence of foul play.”

OK. Let's see what comes out.

The MO here seems to be pressuring people in to suicide. It's been done. So...? What do we know along those lines?

SWAT doesn't need to know who called in order to go full Rambo on random citizens. Rich people pull the strings. They don't believe in accountability.

They do not send in SWAT for wellness checks

In a Nov. 18 letter filed in federal court, attorneys for The New York Times named Balaji as someone who had “unique and relevant documents” that would support their case against OpenAI. He was among at least 12 people — many of them past or present OpenAI employees — the newspaper had named in court filings as having material helpful to their case, ahead of depositions.

Unless stuff starts happening to those people, or there is some detail I missed in the article, it is much more plausible that this was suicide than some corporate hit, let alone one carried out using police violence? Is that what you were implying?

"You see what happen to one of you. Are you sure you wanna to through with this?"

It's not like OpenAI cares about people anyway.

Fuck them, fuck Altman, fuck Microsoft.

That's a vector of attack and it has been exploited by randos.

I think if it wasn't for that, we wouldn't know that it can be that easy to call in swat someone, these people do no diligence, just go in hot.

This is way to easy to socially engineer, government must know this and yet it still happens.
