Suchir Balaji, a 26-year-old man who used to work at OpenAI, has sadly passed away. He was found in his home in San Francisco on November 26. The police said that it was a case of suicide and there was no sign of anyone harming him.

Suchir Balaji was known for speaking out about problems he saw at OpenAI, the company that created ChatGPT.

He said that the company used other people’s work without permission to make its AI smarter, which led to many people suing the company.

Before his death, Suchir had left OpenAI because he did not agree with how the company was working.

He thought that the company’s way of doing things could hurt people and businesses.

His family has asked for privacy while they grieve his loss.
