Recently, OpenAI issued its first official statement regarding the death of former employee Suchir Balaji, but the content and timing of their response have sparked controversy, leading the public to question the sincerity of their attitude and suggest they are attempting to evade responsibility. In the statement, OpenAI expressed deep shock at the tragedy and stated that they had contacted Balaji's family to offer support. The company emphasized that they first became aware of Balaji's concerns when his comments were published by The New York Times, and that they had no further interactions with him afterward. The statement also noted their respect for employees' rights to express their opinions.
