I'm wondering if this might have stemmed from A) OpenAI making it a nightmare for him, B) feeling despondent about the case, or C) personal things unrelated to the lawsuit. Kind of like what happened with the Boeing whistleblower after he had been fighting them for years and Boeing retaliated against him and got away with it. I don't know if we'll ever know though.

I think there might also be a bit of d) OpenAI has weird nerds defending the honour of their AIfu.

Imagine whistleblowing about unethical behaviour and than have thousands of nerds need to argue about how that what you did technically isnt whistleblowing.
