I'm no lawyer but this sounds like something that would not go well for OpenAI if strongly litigated

  Yeah, courts have generally found that this is "under duress" and not enforceable.
  • singleshot_ 2y ago
    Under duress in the contractual world is generally interpreted as “you are about to be killed or maimed.” Economic duress is distinct.

      Duress can take other forms, unless we are really trying to differentiate general 'coercion' here. Perhaps as an example of the blurred line; Pre-nup agreements sprung the day of the wedding, will not hold up in a US court with a competent lawyer challenging them. You can try to call it 'economic' duress but any non-sociopath sees there are other factors at play.

        That’s a really good point. Was this a prenuptial agreement? If it wasn’t May take is section 174 would apply and we would be talking about physical compulsion — and not “it’s a preferable economic situation to sign.” Not a sociopath, just know the law.
