#4What surprises me about these stories surrounding openAI is how they apologize while lying and downplaying any blame. Do they expect anybody to believe they didn’t know about clawback clauses?

You’re just shooting the messenger.

#6If this really was a mistake the easiest way to deal with it would be to release people from their non disparagement agreements that were only signed by leaving employees under the duress of losing their vested equity.
It's really easy to make people whole for this, so whether that happens or not is the difference between the apologies being real or just them just backpedaling because employees got upset.
Edit: Looks like they're doing the right thing here:
> Altman’s initial statement was criticized for doing too little to make things right for former employees, but in an emailed statement, OpenAI told me that “we are identifying and reaching out to former employees who signed a standard exit agreement to make it clear that OpenAI has not and will not cancel their vested equity and releases them from nondisparagement obligations” — which goes much further toward fixing their mistake.

He's on the board of AI safety too. Now I feel protected.

Assuming that’s the only clause that they can use to cause people trouble. The article indicates it’s not.

It's been stultifying the older I get to see how easy it is for people to lie to themselves and others, everywhere.
You have to be really attuned to "is this actually rational or sound right, or am I adding in an implicit 'but we're good people, so,'"

Looks like they’re doing that.
