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.
