NDAs don’t touch the copyright of your speech / written works you produce after leaving, they just make it breach of contract to distribute those words.


Following the legal defense of these companies, the employees wouldn’t be distributing any words. They’re distributing a model.


They’re disseminating the information. Form isn’t as important as it is for copyright.


Please just stop. It’s highly unlikely that any relevant part of any reasonably structured NDA has any material relevance to copyright. Why do developers think that they can just intuit this stuff? This is one step away from being a more trendy “stick the constitution to the back of my car in lieu of a license place” lunacy.


Actually, I’m a licensed attorney having some fun exploring tongue-in-cheek legal arguments on the internet.

But, I could also be a dog.


Technically, no words are being distributed here. (At least according to OpenAI lawyers.)


>they just make it breach of contract to distribute those words.

See, they aren't distributing the words, and good luck proving that any specific words went into training the model.
