Casey NewtonWhy …….. would you do this https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2024/07/13/openai-safety-risks-whistleblower-sec/
David Imel"Oops yes it was technically in the terms for some reason but we never meant to enforce it!"
Marcus MendesDon Draper said it best
Dave Spector@crumbler you cannot be forced to sign away your rights. That clause is null and void.
Emelia 👸🏻@crumbler this just sounds like they know they're committing securities fraud or something, like a big red sign that says "Hey SEC come investigate us"
Jeffy 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈🇺🇦 ❤️🇱🇺@thisismissem @crumbler pretty sure they’re also committing federal employment law violations. They’re surely violating terms of getting federal grant money.
Ash ZadeWas EvilCorp taken?
enthraxxx@crumbler Surely that's not legal, right?
proedie@crumbler They probably had an AI writing that contract.

JamesThe bigger question is, OpenAI employs lawyers who think these terms are enforceable?
Chris Godwin@crumbler not legally enforceable of course. I believe even in the US those rights are protected and any clause trying to restrict them is null and void.
Of course even empty threats can work as threats.
Whilst they can't legally stop "whistleblowers" they can increase the anxiety about it to discourage it. Classic corporate tactic.
Personally I'd always recommend hiring someone who would be a whistleblower. You won't find more passionate or determined employees!
Rob@crumbler HR using an Early GPT prompt: write and iron clad employee agreement.
Matthew Varpness@crumbler At first I thought you were saying the AI itself was making staff do this.
Son of a Sailor@crumbler I'm so fed up with the move fast and break things (possibly illegally) tech bro mindset.
David Green@attorneyryan is this legal?
OldHoundFraud!? 🤔
Eshu MarneediGet ready for a “I’m actually super embarrassed by this” tweet from our lord Sam Altman Monday morning at 9 sharp.

Morten@crumbler Haha! Why not have them sign away their right to vote and a fair trial while writing this nonsense?
RawLawDog@crumbler assurance that there will be illegal activity from which these companies will need silence from their employees
