It turns out there’s a very clear reason for that. I have seen the extremely restrictive off-boarding agreement that contains nondisclosure and non-disparagement provisions former OpenAI employees are subject to. It forbids them, for the rest of their lives, from criticizing their former employer. Even acknowledging that the NDA exists is a violation of it.
Utterly insane.
Move to Europe, that NDA isn’t legal here, which makes the whole thing void.
First rule of OpenAI is: “What is OpenAI?”
