OpenAI whistleblower’s deemed suicide
-
Same with Aaron Swartz.
-
Sigh, it really does.
-
Can someone fill me in on the missing info here…
How is it that Zuck has been busted (basically) for training his ai on 80TB of pirated materials via torrents and it seems to be getting swept under the rug, yet this poor guy points out Sam Altman doing the same and he’s suicided?
-
You've heard about a Boeing suicide, no we have new age OpenAI suicide.
People love mocking Russians when their "leaders" fall out of windows, but where are these people when corpos kill plebs within US?
-
Alright... is there something I don't know. I was not aware that Aaron Swartz' death was a Boeing suicide.
-
Sir, this is a "Democracy"
-
hmm, true. Which makes it even more crucial to avoid getting murdered.
-
Because there are 8 billion people on the planet and those chatting about this stuff on the internet are a very small subset of people. Unless someone is investing time to learn about this stuff, odds are they won’t hear about it elsewhere. I hate to say it, but I’m probably checking out of actively checking out current events. 20+ years of internet access has taught me this stuff has been happening for a while and there’s nothing I can do about it and no one cares enough to do anything about it as a group. The current US president sitting in the White House and not a jail cell is proof enough to me that it’s futile.

you missed one.
Prison suicide, also known as "epsteined"
-
even better. use the fact that companies didn't legally pursue Facebook as an argument that IP laws aren't being enforced and that downloaded IP content isn't in violation of copyright.
if they refuse to follow laws, and refuse to enforce laws, there are no laws.
-
Weren't there two boing suicides? Or the second one was something more creative, I think.
-
...but without the fucking cool stuff.
-
We got some of it, its just that killer drones and SI aren't as cool on this side of the screen, and the cyberware is only for rich people (though there is a growing 3D printed movement for amputees) That said with some craft skills we can at least make the cool punk armor and kneepads and have it be reasonably functional, even deploy a blade if you're ambitious, though more predator than mantis in that regard.
Be the change you want to see.
-
Didn't the boeing guy pretty explicitly state that he was not suicidal to family and friends right before he died?
-
Very similar story to the guy above. I mean, very similar!
-
Yeah, I think the constant barrage of bad news that you have no control over is too much. I'm spending more of my free time this year volunteering locally, mostly for selfish reasons like mental health and distraction from Politics.
Also, given how things are heading, this might be one of our last decent years for spending time outside. So, I’m making an effort to enjoy it while I can.
-
Yes he did
-
It's a great idea, though in practice I fear you'd seem like Snowden and everyone would eventually coalesce around the idea that you're a traitor because you didn't get assassinated or put into a dark hole to be forgotten.
-
Isn't Snowden, like, actually a dipshit though? He released info that got our spies killed.
Some was important to know. Some just got people murdered
