Yes, but it’s important to not immediately assume that it’s because they’ve been killed.
I’d wager a statistically significant amount of whistleblowers are actually just liars looking to get recognition. When their lie catches up with them, they realize they’ve lost the one thing they had going for them and decide to end it all.
In the digital age where information can be shared so freely and so easily, there’s not really an excuse for whistleblowers to be like “wait until THIS date” before revealing their information.
I’d wager a statistically significant amount of whistleblowers are actually just liars looking to get recognition.
So do you have some research stating that or is it just a sort of feeling?
Because that’s an incredibly wild allegation to be making, impeaching someone’s veracity, especially after a fatality, should absolutely come with some kind of evidence.
It’s just speculation. I don’t know, I could be wrong, but I’d wager I’m right.
Do you think there’s not a statistically significant amount of whistleblowers who are liars?
This, ladies and gentlemen and all those in between, is what the professionals call “talking out of your ass.”
I cannot possibly say but what I would say is that there is a significantly higher likelihood than what he is saying is correct. Given that you basically can prove it for yourself by simply asking the AI to quote copyrighted content, the fact that it can do that rather demonstrates that copyright content was acquired illegally, and if the copyright holders never talked to openAI, then openAI by definition never got permission.
It’s weird that you would assume malice on everyone’s behalf by default, what would they have to gain by it?
I think there’s not enough evidence to prove that, so no. Why would you lie in the way that you’re most likely going to be killed from?
statistically significant amount of whistleblowers are actually just liars … When their lie catches up with them … decide to end it all"
This is a very unlikely situation.
These stories of nefarious liars abusing poor defenseless corporations would be publicized widely if true. We’d have prominent, well known examples.
This needs people who think the threats and reputational damage of being a whistleblower are worth it for the ‘recognition’, who are smart enough to construct a believable sounding claim but not smart enough to see the inevitable consequences. That specific kind of person is going to be much rarer than people who work for a legitimately shitty company and don’t like it.
Why is that important? No you assume they are/were killed until someone has some real fuckin proof about it
Well, all the evidence points to a suicide so you don’t really have a point here.
I’d wager that baseless claims such as these are statistically likely to be backed by click farms and corporations looking to control a narrative or, at the very least, create enough noise to muddy the signal.
I could go on- but the point is made.
On the off chance you actually have that thought rattling around in that cavern between your ears… I think you need to possibly exercise more critical thought and familiarize yourself with concepts like Occam’s razor.
Everyone is absolutely entitled to their opinion… Including you. With that said: it is my opinion that you are either a paid actor, an idiot, or a troll.
I mean, you can wager whatever you want but it’s possible you’re wrong. You people are blowing my words out of proportion, probably because you see the downvote ratio and can’t formulate your own ideas.
For example, if you think I’m wrong without any information to contradict me, then you’re also speculating.
You should take a break from these forums. It’s clear you’re willing to twist your brain into knots just to fit in with the popular narrative, and that’s not healthy.
Gonna block you now. Goodbye, and good luck.
I started my reasons for thinking you are wrong but I’ll clarify: It’s illogical and baseless.
I’ll expand.
While neither of our assessments of the unfortunate ends these people had are based in hard fact - one of them is far more probable:
Option A: multiple people tied up in whistleblowing cases involving large profit driven corporations both lied and got ‘caught’ in the lie (despite not giving testimony yet in many of these cases) … and elect to independently off themselves. Each time.
Option B: A whistleblower threatens exposing said companies to considerable losses or penalties (which would likely result in losses.) It is decided by the company or an individual in the company (who probably has something to lose or gain) that the whistleblower needs to go. Whistleblower commits suicide by dubious means.
Option C: Basically option B but whistleblower is racked with guilt for being part of whatever occurred and opts to take their life as a means of atonement (misguided as that can be.)
Two of these options rely on simple logical human behavior well known to tie into death: greed and corruption - and guilt and sorrow. Your option suggests broadly that, under minimal pressure, all/most of these people are just sprinting to the most extreme exit under scrutiny. The odds of that being the case, repeatedly, are infinitesimally small. Corruption and corporations go hand in hand and you don’t have to look hard to find a case of it.
So I’ll reiterate: it is my opinion that your opinion is based in a world of pure fantasy… and only an idiot or a troll would actually believe it.
