Video: OpenAI whistleblower found dead
Subtitle: so unfortunately I have to give you an

update on the open AI story I'll read

the headline and I'll share my thoughts

and I want to get your also um former

open AI researcher and whistleblower

found dead at age

26 uh his name was such

BAGI and this is sad news um I'll I'll

kind of tell you what's going on and and

a little bit of odd things about the

story um he was found dead

about 3 weeks ago and they're just now

reporting it so it's a little bit late

which I found strange um they're saying

there was no evidence of Foul Play um

and he's a whistleblower because he

recently gave an interview with the New

York Times exposing opening eye what he

felt was um or is I should say doing

illegal things um I give you the the

basic rundown of the story and um I'll

show you guys what I'm talking about

here so um you know the the timing is is

odd also um I just

did a video right before this where um

musk is suing open AI this is the fourth

time this year essentially musk doesn't

want open AI to make money with chat gbt

so he's suing him for that but musk's

motives is essentially he wants to catch

up with his AI company uh

xai um Su here you know in interview

they gave with the New York Times um

he's concerned about all the all the AI

stuff so it's not like he's taking sides

necessarily he's just concerned about

all of it um he joined open AI back in

like 2020 uh he's like a student at UC

Berkeley and essentially him and you

know a bunch of his teammates that what

open AI uh treated as a as a research

project right can we train AI to you

know sort information Etc um what he

felt though was that uh the way that

open Ai and again it's not just them but

just all these AI Bots um the way they

use data the way they use copyrighted

material is in competition with the said

copyrighted material so he felt like

that it was just not fair use

essentially and has open AI went to

became more you know for-profit and not

necessarily just you know research only

he became uncomfortable with it um this

is a quote from him he said uh quote if

you believe what I believe you have to

just leave the company and so um he

left uh this is um a a critical time

obviously for all these AI things

because they're all coming out the same

time they're all competing to make a

name for for themselves and they're all

looking to make money um he felt so

strongly about this that he gave the

interview with the New York Times just a

couple of months ago and he even had

this um big uh blog post on his website

if you want to read it you can to show

you the the front page it says when does

generative AI qualify for fair use and

he goes through some examples

essentially saying it's not fair use and

again he's he's um saying that what

they're doing is is is illegal and

destructive to the internet actually uh

and again it's not just open AI I mean

specifically it's open AI but the the

same model can be applied to any of

these uh AI

companies um the other thing that that

stood out to me with for this is that uh

they interviewed like the professor in

this in this

field a law professor saying you know

that that we need to

rethink our laws on how we you know deem

AI Etc um and I was I was I was thinking

about that

because you know musk is going into the

government with this Doge thing and um

the Trump people recently just picked a

new Zar to be you know Ai and uh you

know crypto Zar that's a a new position

of T person for on the channel and so

they're they're writing all these rules

of how to how to treat this stuff um

seeing sort of how strongly suer thought

about this I I um I can completely

understand his his point of view um and

I'm just I'm really sorry to report the

news that he's that he's um no longer

with this um I I so and this is someone

who's worked on the inside and um he was

saying uh guess I was reporting that him

and like 12 other people have left open

eye because they feel uncomfortable with

the direction that the company is is

going um but I just wanted to stress I I

think it's not just them I think it's

the whole um environment um I I

don't yeah I'm just I'm really sorry to

hear this to be frank um you know a

young kid this young and and we don't

know the full story maybe maybe you know

for all I know maybe he had his personal

problems May he's being harassed we we

we don't know these kind of things um

maybe there's more to the story that

will be reported later um but it's uh

it's either way it's sad news feel sorry

and condolences to the family um and I

just wanted to sort of share his

feelings of you know what he said and

want what he wanted people to know about

this AI stuff and that's the question I

posed to you um is is what do you think

do you think these AI chat Bots are

destructive to the internet and um are

they indeed fair use value or do you

think they're uh using copyright

material in the wrong way that's

destructive to the Internet so that's

that's the question I POS so I do

appreciate your time I'd like to hear

your thoughts on this one and uh I'll

catch you all in the next video
