    What anti-poaching laws? At most this would violate non-compete clauses that may exist, but those generally aren’t enforceable anyways.

      Most non-poaching clauses in non-competes specify that the person signing it can’t recruit employees from their old work, usually for X number of years. Microsoft almost certainly didn’t sign any non-competes and unless Sam Altman is the one making this offer there aren’t any non-compete violations happening.

        Non-competes and poaching clauses aren’t based on any laws, and it turns out they aren’t even legally binding in many cases.

          I’m not arguing they are, but that they aren’t relevant at all in this case. They aren’t even designed to address this situation (binding or otherwise).

            Seemed like you were answering their question, but I reread and get what you were trying to say now.
