If I die in the midst of whistleblowing, I hereby give permission for everyone to not ignore that fact.

- griomnib 2y agoSure seems like this is happening more frequently, eg with the Boeing guy. So it’s reasonable to ask why. If you look at Aaron Schwartz for example you see they don’t have to assassinate you, they just have so many lawyers, making so many threats, with so much money/power behind them, people feel scared and powerless. I don’t think OpenAI called in a hit job, but I think they spent millions of dollars to drive him into financial and emotional desperation - which in our system, is legal.
- froggyguts 2y agothat's just assassination with extra steps

- bossyTeacher 2y agoIf I pressure you and put you in a position that makes you want to unalive yourself, you can be sure that you will be tried under manslaughter by way of assisted suicide in the form of emotional blackmail. Chances are whatever OpenAI exec did this probably has a lots of minions between him and whoever actually unalived the whistleblower so it can't be traced back to him
- achrono 2y ago> I don't think OpenAI called in a hit job Why? What do you know about OpenAI beyond the cute 12 days videos or Sam Altman's modest demeanor in interviews? On the other hand, what makes you think they spent "millions of dollars" to cause him desperation?
- spacemadness 2y agoNah, I’d rather continue to let random HN commenters shame me for thinking critically and not taking things at face value.
