Journalist George Webb published published a video of an inspection of Balaji’s apartment, where blood is visible.
On November 26, 26-year-old Balaji, who had worked at OpenAI for four years, was found dead in his San Francisco apartment. According to police, there were no signs of violence. The city’s chief medical examiner said the cause of death was suicide.
Balaji has previously criticized OpenAI for its methods of obtaining data from the Internet to train artificial intelligence models.
He pointed out that chatbots like ChatGPT take away the commercial value of human-generated content. He discussed this problem with journalists from The New York Times, which last year filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, accusing the company and Microsoft of illegally using its content to train AI.
The Sam Altman-led startup denies the allegations, arguing that its models are trained on publicly available data under fair use laws.
OpenAI previously asked the court to dismiss part of The New York Times’ copyright claim because the newspaper’s employees “hacked” ChatGPT to falsify evidence.
