 North Korea fired several ballistic missiles into the sea Monday, South Korea’s military said, hours after South Korean and U.S. troops kicked off their large annual combined drills, which the North views as an invasion rehearsal.  South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said the missile firings, North Korea’s fifth missile launch event this year, were detected from the North’s Hwanghae province but gave no further details such as how far they flew.  Earlier Monday, the South Korean and U.S. militaries began their annual joint military exercises, which are scheduled to last 11 days. The Freedom Shield command post exercise began after the South Korean and U.S. militaries paused live-fire training while Seoul investigates how two of its fighter jets mistakenly bombed a civilian area during a warm-up drill last week.  The drills' start drew the condemnation of nuclear-armed North Korea, which issued a government statement calling the exercises a “dangerous provocative act...

A 26-YEAR-OLD WHISTLEBLOWER WHO RAISED CONCERNS ABOUT OPEN-AI'S PRACTICES, WAS FOUND DEAD IN HIS SAN FRANCISCO FLAT. (PHOTO).


 Suchir Balaji, a 26-year-old Indian-American whistleblower who raised concerns about OpenAI’s practices, was found dead in his San Francisco flat on November 26. 

San Francisco police discovered Balaji’s body in his Buchanan Street residence after responding to a welfare check at 1:00 PM. While the Medical Examiner’s Office has not revealed the cause of death, police reported “no evidence of foul play,” according to the Chicago Tribune.


Three months before his death, Balaji had accused OpenAI of violating U.S. copyright laws in the development of ChatGPT, its widely used AI system. He alleged that the company unlawfully utilized copyrighted materials from writers, programmers, and journalists, prompting legal challenges. His insights were expected to play a crucial role in upcoming legal proceedings against the company, whose valuation has exceeded $150 billion.


In an interview with The New York Times on October 23, Balaji criticized OpenAI for negatively impacting businesses and entrepreneurs. He described its practices as unsustainable for the broader internet ecosystem, saying, “If you believe what I believe, you have to just leave the company.” His revelations came amidst growing concerns about AI’s ethical implications and the protection of intellectual property.


In his final public statement, Balaji clarified that The New York Times had approached him for the interview, addressing any confusion. His sudden death has drawn attention to the challenges faced by whistleblowers in the tech industry and the legal battles surrounding artificial intelligence development.
