The medical examiner’s office determined the manner of death to be suicide and police officials this week said there is “currently, no evidence of foul play.”
Information he held was expected to play a key part in lawsuits against the San Francisco-based company.
Balaji’s death comes three months after he publicly accused OpenAI of violating U.S. copyright law while developing ChatGPT, a generative artificial intelligence program that has become a moneymaking sensation used by hundreds of millions of people across the world.
How boeing/CIA of them.

What does that even mean? Basilisk?

Who tf is pascal wager?
pascal’s wager is the notion that if you assume heaven and hell and god and the devil are real, then the rational choice is to believe in god, because if god is real and you believe in god then you get into heaven and win, but if you don’t believe in god then you go to hell and lose, whereas if god is not real and you don’t believe you just die and you don’t get into heaven anyway.
roko’s basilisk is the same thing but replace god and the devil with super intelligent ai computers or something
