This is a re-upload due to YouTube demonetization, requiring more censorship than expected. Suchir Balaji, an AI researcher at OpenAI, believed the company violated copyright laws. After resigning and sharing his insights with the NYT, he was found deceased in his San Francisco apartment.
Updates/Clarifications:
1. No forced entry was found in Suchir's apartment.
2. No cameras were present on Suchir's floor (4th floor), and one elevator camera was disabled. However, the main, first floor had one operational camera.
3. Suchir suffered a maxillary fracture, with a puncture on his tongue, raising suspicions of a second incident.
4. Correction: Wellbutrin does not contain amphetamine. Prescription bottles of D-Amphetamine (generic for Adderall) were found in Suchir's apartment, likely the source of amphetamines in his system.
