🚨 Indian origin former AI researcher, Suchir Balaji at OpenAI, was found dead in his San Francisco apartment. He earlier accused OpenAI of using copyrighted material to train its AI models.
During his time at OpenAI, Balaji had also worked on the company’s industry-defining product, ChatGPT, for 1.5 years. After graduating from Berkeley, Balaji interned at OpenAI and data labelling startup Scale AI. In 2020, he eventually joined OpenAI full-time. A couple of years later, he started collecting data to pre-train new flagship AI models at OpenAI, including GPT-4. As long as his research was confined for internal use, Balaji was fine with the use of digital data to train AI models.
@IndianTechGuide There is some conspiracy for sure. You can't say that he had suicided. Indian government should ask directly.
@IndianTechGuide Unfortunate death. The authorities are ruling this a suicide. But, this looks like a cold blooded murder to silence the whistleblower.
@IndianTechGuide In October, Balaji publicly accused OpenAI of using copyrighted material to train its AI models, including ChatGPT, and argued that the company's reliance on "fair use" for justification was legally questionablea and now his body is found something is mysterious for sure
Prior to his death, Balaji had become a whistleblower, publicly accusing OpenAI of violating U.S. copyright laws through its AI application, ChatGPT. He argued that OpenAI's practices were damaging to the internet ecosystem and questioned the fairness of using copyrighted material to train AI models.
@IndianTechGuide And my dear twitter mates, This is US. Self styled Torch bearers & Defenders of world democracy. Day by day, day by day the mask is off.
@IndianTechGuide Aum shanti 🙏 This need to investigated. Many tech company have CEO as Indians.
@IndianTechGuide It’s always ‘suicide’ - never anything else.
@IndianTechGuide Some conspiracy, need to be investigated 🙏@DrSJaishankar
@IndianTechGuide America is one of the most useless and safeless country in the world. We have 7 lakhs Americans in india with safety 🤦🏻.
@IndianTechGuide Reports : #Zorawar Light Tanks's firing trials has been successfull in Nyoma (Ladakh) while mobility & protection trials to be completed soon.
@IndianTechGuide "I believe Suchir’s death is a direct consequence of the AI dominance driven by tech giants, spearheaded by Sam Altman. This raises serious concerns about the unchecked power these corporations wield and the human cost of their ambitions."
@IndianTechGuide This is really tragic news. It's wild to think about the impact one person can have in tech and how quickly things can change. Suchir's contributions will be missed. Let’s remember the importance of mental health in such a high-pressure field.
@IndianTechGuide This is a day old news. Was discussed by lot of US guys yesterday. I could not understand any conspiracy, but smelled something fishy here. His last tweet is also available here.
@IndianTechGuide Oh my god, it’s shocked to see this news.
@IndianTechGuide It's murder? What is going on in USA with Indians.
@IndianTechGuide He completed his education from University of California, Barkley !!
@IndianTechGuide Is it murder? There should be investigation
@IndianTechGuide I smell conspiracy, hopefully it will be investigated properly. I heard it marked as suicide but that is so convenient assumption
@IndianTechGuide This seems like a conspiracy, it needs to be investigated.

@IndianTechGuide very unfortunate but bro took a wrong turn, he thought openai is tcs.
@IndianTechGuide The Deep State is the colonizer. And AI is going to be their most lethal weapon. Where money and power reside, there's no room for law and justice!
