Suchir Balaji, a 26-year-old former OpenAI researcher and whistleblower, was found dead in his San Francisco apartment on November 26, following a wellness check. Balaji had previously accused OpenAI of violating copyright law and described the company's approach as 'copy now, ask forgiveness later.' The medical examiner's office has not yet released the cause of death. Police have stated that there is no evidence of foul play. His death raises concerns given the timing, occurring just three months after his allegations against OpenAI, which has faced increasing scrutiny over its practices.
