Comment on OpenAI whistleblower’s deemed suicide
unconfirmedsourcesDOTgov@lemmy.sdf.org 2 months agoIt’s a great idea, though in practice I fear you’d seem like Snowden and everyone would eventually coalesce around the idea that you’re a traitor because you didn’t get assassinated or put into a dark hole to be forgotten.

Isn’t Snowden, like, actually a dipshit though? He released info that got our spies killed.

What info got spies killed exactly? Aspersions were cast but no actual information ever came out about that, and presumably if they’re already dead then it can be released.
If that had actually happened, the government would have been howling from the rooftops about it, we’d all know their names.
But the reports on what damage it did were entirely redacted, and the worst thing they could say was “likely to have lethal consequences”, which presumably means it *hadn’t * had lethal consequences. Pretty weak shit. Also they’re bitching and moaning about how it will weaken their ability to do spy shit and like… good. Why do we want them to do that shit? Everything we know about what they do is basically universally evil, so maybe Snowden is a hero actually.
Nah, it’s bullshit, they’re just trying to assassinate his character and it sounds like you fell for it.

citation requested. I’ve only seen this as a fox news talking point, never, ever substantiated.
Not really a snowden fan myself, but really feel we need to be accurate when things like this are asserted.
