I was trying to find out if Kermit was eligible to be pope and I found a blog that says he's the perfect example of a catholic priest

What do you expect? He's a man of the cloth

Why were you trying to find out if Kermit was eligible to be a catholic priest ?

Usual reasons

Hey do yโ€™all remember when Boeing fucking killed a guy last year. And we all said โ€œhuh I guess Boeing fucking killed a guyโ€ and then went on with our lives. And everybody knew that Boeing had fully just fucking executed a guy and nothing came of it. Like there was no police investigation no justice no nothing. Like literally EVERYBODY knew that Boeing had full on murdered a guy to silence him and there wasnโ€™t any consequences for them. Kinda crazy.

and there was even less talk when openai did the exact same thing more recently

So for those who are, very understandably uninitiated on this story:

On 23 October last year (2024) the New York Times published an interview with former OpenAI researcher Suchir Balaji who worked on organising and gathering data for OpenAI until 2022 when he begun thinking about the morality of it. He eventually came to the conclusion that what OpenAI is doing blatantly violates copyright law and decided to leave the company altogether in August 2024.

After he came out with this accusation he was set to appear in court to testify against OpenAIโ€™s data-gathering practices, something which had the potential of being a complete disaster for the company and the generative AI industry as a whole.

That was until 26 November, just days before he was due to appear in court, when he suddenly and mysteriously was found dead inside his own apartment. Investigators concluded that the death was self-inflicted, something which his family has disputed.

There was also โ€œsign of struggle in the bathroom and looks like someone hit him in the bathroom based on blood spotsโ€, and his apartment showed signs of having been ransacked for evidence: โ€œThe pin drive is missing. His computer was messed up.โ€.

Overall it feels pretty clear-cut what happened, that is to say that OpenAI had him killed because he was a legitimate threat to their business, indicating that they are fully aware that the way theyโ€™re gathering data is completely illegal.
