- hef19898 3y agoShould tell you something that he didn't. And no, I am not talking about ethics here.
- eddtries 3y agoThere must be an insane number of non-competes though, to stop that? Especially with the amount of VC funding - that must have been included?
- airspresso 3y agoNon-competes are not legally enforcable in California, or so I hear.
- eddtries 3y agoI think the only edge cases are for executives of companies, and even then it's pretty limited, but I imagine this could be one of the examples. IANAL though - it's just from what I've seen discussed elsewhere. https://www.ottingerlaw.com/blog/executives-should-not-ignore-non-compete-agreements https://www.ottingerlaw.com/blog/executives-should-not-ignor... https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?sectionNum=16602.&nodeTreePath=9.2.1&lawCode=BPC https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySectio...
- ibrarmalik 3y agoThe new models and data would stay at OpenAI. You can have thousands of researchers and compute, but if you don’t have “it”, you are behind (ask Google). In Microsoft he still has access to the models, and that’s all he needs to execute his ideas.
- synaesthesisx 3y agoYes, however they’ll be shielded from lawsuits from OpenAI at Microsoft.
- esskay 3y agoThey could, but they'd be massively hamstrung by lack of GPU's. Pretty much all supply is locked up for a good few years right now.
- quickthrower2 3y agoAssuming a MAG wont offer it.
