Kathy (@parislychee) Idky this wasn't/isn't a bigger story. His name is Suchir Balaji. He was 26 years old. Indian-American. An AI researcher at OpenAI for 4 years. He helped build GPT-4. One of the most powerful AI systems in the world. In October 2024 he quit OpenAI and gave an interview to the New York Times. He said OpenAI was training its AI on copyrighted content without permission. He said it was illegal. He was named as a key witness in the NYT lawsuit against OpenAI. He wrote in his journal: “I am a credible threat because of New York Times.” One month after the interview he was found dead in his San Francisco apartment. The official ruling: suicide. His parents say: murder. His pen drive was missing. His computer was left open. CCTV footage for only 2 of 7 days was provided. GHB was found in his system. His cheekbone was broken. A second bullet was allegedly found lodged in his skull by independent radiologists. Elon Musk replied to his mother’s post: “This doesn’t seem like a suicide.” Tucker Carlson said in a September 2025 interview with Sam Altman: “He was definitely murdered.” The SF police closed the case. His mother Poornima Ramarao is still fighting. Alone. From India. Against one of the most powerful companies in the world. –san_x_m/x https://substack.com/@parislychee/note/c-240557442?r=59ratc&utm_medium=ios&utm_source=notes-share-action
