    Yeah, it’s always a combination of factors and I have no doubt the stress didn’t help, but the idea that OpenAI would put a hit on some guy no one’s heard of over his opinions on copyright infringement is laughable. Let’s not do that.

      I’m guessing it went like “we will make sure that you’ll never be able to land another job in this expertise”

      He quit the job in August and didn’t find another one yet

        Full time AI grift jobs would of course be forever closed to any AI whistleblower. There’s still a plenty of other jobs.

        I did participate in the hiring process, I can tell you that at your typical huge corporation the recruiter / HR are too inept to notice that you are a whistleblower, and don’t give a shit anyway. And of the rank and file who will actually google you, plenty enough people dislike AI.

        At the rank and file level, the only folks who actually give a shit who you are are people who will have to work with you. Not the background check provider, not the recruiter.
