>the board agreed to bring Sam Altman back before resigning because of massive pressure campaign that involved 90%+ of employees threatening to resign, and Microsoft...
But, what kind of Wild West is this? It's all so unhinged and strange.
There are no NDAs, non-competes or other impediments? MS just guts OpenAI at its whim?
>there would have been no OpenAI left to preside over.
...If MS can do this, then there's already no OpenAI left to preside over.

- lotsofpulp 2y agoThe beauty of California is that there are no non competes, for anyone, ever. It is a very pro employee policy, hence attractive to the best and brightest.
- unclebucknasty 2y agoGood to see someone positive about California, given all of the politically-motivated negativity. It's a great state for many reasons. I mentioned non-competes as one of a universe of things that makes this unusual; including its original non-profit status becoming substantially for-profit, and the apparent ease with which MS can now gut the supposedly controlling non-profit and walk away with everything. And, I'm guessing even the CA policy on non-competes wasn't conceived with the idea of one company simply "taking" another company at-will, even if that scenario is technically covered.
- lotsofpulp 2y agoI am not clear about the intent of your comment. People should be free to sell their labor to whoever they want. And people should be able to buy labor from whoever they want. All businesses at all times are subject to losing their employees to another employer who is willing to pay enough for them.
- unclebucknasty 2y agoMy original point had very little to do with selling labor/non-competes, but I think you keyed on that part. Maybe re-reading and omitting that will make it clearer.
