> Whatever your position is on the NDAs in general, you really shouldn't break one you accepted.
The recent OpenAI non-disparagement agreement ex-employees were forced to sign was itself covered by a non-disclosure agreement. Which current employees thus naturally had no idea about... until they were leaked to the press. Would it really have been better for these not to have been leaked?
If it's in the territory of ex employees being forced to sign something, I don't count that under NDA anymore - it's just sneaky BS. You can twist anything in some evil scheme - that doesn't mean the original thing itself is bad.
The context here is sharing general technical knowledge, not the openai internal backstabbing.
