Jeff Jarvis is a tech giant cheerleader. He scolded the New York Times from social media for publishing Suchir Balaji's whistleblower claims against OpenAI. Shortly after this, OpenAI's ex-employee Suchir Balaji was found dead in his apartment. And Balaji's parents say signs of foul play were found. If this hype and fraud keeps up, the short-term profits will give way to deep fraud like they have Jeff Jarvis -- who tows the tech industry line, called privacy advocates "privacy nazis" back in the aughts -- posted to social media that the New York Times should have self-censored and not run Suchir Balaji's story. #censorship #AIHype Yeah Elno must be hemmorhaging X.com users this week.
