In a dramatic turn of events, Poornima Rao, the mother of OpenAI whistleblower Suchir Balaji, has taken to the digital pulpit, urging the masses to rally behind a California Assembly bill that aims to thwart OpenAI’s insidious plan to transform from a noble nonprofit into a voracious for-profit entity. The plot thickens as Rao, with the zeal of a fiery prophet, calls upon the faithful to sign an open letter in support of California Assembly Bill 501.
On a fateful Tuesday, Rao ascended to the digital forum, imploring netizens to join her holy crusade against the corporate heathens of Silicon Valley. She solemnly declared that OpenAI, once a sanctuary of human ingenuity, is now on the brink of committing a grand betrayal by converting into a “for-profit” company, a decision her son Suchir Balaji vehemently opposed before his untimely demise.
OpenAI is trying to steal the assets of humanity. Currently it’s owned by humanity but Altman wants to make it its own for profit. A new bill was introduced to stop this theft. But now OpenAI is trying to kill this bill in the crib by paying lobbyists a lot of money. We must all…

Rao’s passionate plea also includes a scathing indictment of OpenAI’s alleged attempts to “suppress dissenting voices” and extinguish the bill in its infancy. She accuses the company of marshaling a legion of paid lobbyists to derail the noble cause, a move that reeks of despotism and greed.
Suchir Balaji, a 26-year-old prodigy and former researcher at OpenAI, had the courage to stand against the very institution he once served. In 2024, he tendered his resignation over mounting ethical concerns, particularly the company’s alleged violation of copyright laws. Balaji’s act of defiance earned him the mantle of whistleblower, as he exposed OpenAI’s illicit harvesting of content from artists and journalists.
Tragically, on November 26 of last year, the world was robbed of Suchir’s brilliant mind and noble spirit when his body was discovered in his San Francisco apartment under mysterious circumstances. The San Francisco police, in a move that reeks of bureaucratic negligence, declared it a suicide. However, Suchir’s parents, Poornima Rao and her husband, remain unconvinced, crying foul and demanding an FBI investigation to uncover the truth.
What is the California Assembly Bill 501 against OpenAI?
The open letter penned by Poornima Rao serves as a clarion call for the preservation of nonprofit integrity. It asserts that nonprofits, such as OpenAI, were founded with the sacred promise to serve humanity, not to enrich themselves. California Assembly Bill 501 seeks to prevent OpenAI’s top brass from perverting a ten-year-old nonprofit, whose mission is to advance artificial general intelligence for the common good, into a vehicle for personal gain.
This impassioned letter emphasizes the need to ensure that nonprofit organizations remain true to their humanitarian principles and continue to be held accountable to their original goals.
Conclusion
As the battle over AI ethics intensifies, Suchir Balaji’s courageous stand shines a spotlight on the delicate balance between innovation and ethical responsibility. His whistleblowing has ignited a fiery debate about the responsibilities of companies like OpenAI to navigate the treacherous waters of progress and fairness.
