My best to the Balaji family đź’” Talk about timin...
You know how Boeing had those whistleblowers disappear conveniently a few months back? Open AI has that now. There's a whistleblower who used to work at Open AI as a research scientist named Suchir Balaji, and he was found dead today in his apartment. Apparently, no foul play. And he was critical to the case between the New York Times and Open AI, because the New York Times has been alleging that Open AI's responses around their news articles constitute copyright infringement, and Open AI has been saying it's generative, it's fair use. Suchir wrote a paper arguing that, mathematically speaking, the responses that the large language models were employing did not constitute fair use, because they were so substantially similar. And in fact, they had to be substantially similar, because that is the way large language models work. So his testimony was expected to be electrifying, really important in the court case. I think the New York Times is really betting on his testimony. And now he's gone. So take it for what you will. I'm not going to speculate here. But I thought it was worth reporting since it's definitely AI news. And my thoughts and prayers go out to Suchir's family. I'm sure it's just really devastating right now.
