How common/unusual is that?
- ProllyInfamous 2y ago>required them to waive their federal rights I learned decades ago that contracts cannot be enforced upon illegal requests. Perhaps OpenAI has decided to leave their whistleblower compensation to the judicial system's interpretation..?
- JumpCrisscross 2y ago> How common/unusual is that? I’ve never heard of it. In part because it sounds stupid: most whistleblower rights penalise retaliation. This language seems to mandate it.
- growse 2y agoWasn't there a thing ages ago about investment banks / finance firms having to carve out "unless you're telling the regulator" exemptions to their "you must not share any proprietary data with anyone ever" clauses?
- JackFr 2y agoThere are interesting situations with multinational banks where actual requirements of the regulator in one jurisdiction are illegal in others. (It used to come up a lot with tax compliance in Switzerland though recently they’ve normalized them.)
