Boeing guy and OpenAI whistleblower were both seen as "not depressed" and have even gone far as to say that if anything happened to him that it wouldn't have been an accident.
I'm not sure why there are so many comments trying to downplay and argue around whether OpenAI was a whistleblower or not he fits pretty much all the definition.
OpenAI was suspected of using copyright data but that wasn't the only thing OpenAI whistleblower was keeping under wraps given NDA. The timing of OpenAI partnering with US military is odd.

Yes, but also, his own brother said:
“He was suffering from PTSD and anxiety attacks as a result of being subjected to the hostile work environment at Boeing, which we believe led to his death,”
Internet echo chambers love a good murder mystery, but dragging a quiet and honest employee who works in the trenches through a protracted, public, and stressful legal situation can be very tough.
What whistleblowers go through would make anyone depressed. Often the goal is to destroy the person psychologically and destroy their credibility.
Often, this is enough and they don’t even bother going through with the hit, because it turns out that even billionaires can’t “just hire a hit man.” Real life corporate hits tend to compromise people the person trusts, but whistleblowers are both sparing with their trust and usually poor, which makes it harder because there are fewer people to compromise.
