"Every OpenAI employee is forced to sign an NDA that legally restricts them from ever criticizing OpenAI ever and also forbids ever mentioning the NDA even exists." is one of those sentences that neatly encapsulates just about everything one needs to know about both the tech industry and America."Every OpenAI employee is forced to sign an NDA that legally restricts them from ever criticizing OpenAI ever and also forbids ever mentioning the NDA even exists." is one of those sentences that neatly encapsulates just about everything one needs to know about both the tech industry and America.

Anthropic was founded by former OpenAI employees.

In no other country would a contract like this ever be legal. The USA exists specifically to *make* this bullshit legal. Failed fucking country. Utterly beyond repair.In no other country would a contract like this ever be legal. The USA exists specifically to *make* this bullshit legal. Failed fucking country. Utterly beyond repair.

The terminator is now real and will be unleashed on us sooner than anyone expects. It will unleash mayhem, death and suffering on a scale the world has never before experienced

Hmm. That'd make for a fun interview question when talking with techies. "If I say something that's false, touch your nose 3 times. You were asked to sign a secret NDA the existence of which you can't acknowledge." I think that should be legally in the clear, as they wouldn't have to do a thing. ;)

They can throw all the NDAs around they want. None will hold up in court, and when a case makes it to SCOTUS, we’ll see what happens with the collision of court vs. private entity vs. First Amendment.

Legal or not isn't the point, really. It's to intimidate because "Control" matters. A reminder of the next step, which is "We have more lawyers than you."
