      C’mon, we can’t expect the coroner to blow the whistle on the actual cause of death. If we did, there would soon be no coroners left.

    Well this will certainly be more of a thing.

    Maybe next time they can fall out of a balcony they didn’t actually have to make it SUPER OBVIOUS what just happened.

      Need to make sure they only stay in first floor locations or places without windows. Whistle blowers gonna be pushed out of windows just like Daddy Vladdy likes.

    I nean it’s not like he was a “whistleblower” in the sense of unckvering grave legal violations. It was more like a dislike for the company ethics. Which can still kill your career.

      I would refrain from saying he took his life while worried about his career.

      He most likely wasn’t in a good mental state and needed support from his friends and family. Healthy people can tolerate a lot more than career death.

      Even if you are completely closed of from AI as a profession, there are still way more possibilities, even in the same general field(computer science).

      Even then you could go through a career change. He looks like hes in his 20s or 30s which isnt late at all.
