OpenAI's "superalignment" team disbanded, signs lifetime non-disparagement agreement on way out

Bit of turmoil over at OpenAI over the weekend with the two bosses of the "Superalignment" (they tried to predict the ramifications of when/if AI becomes smarter than us) team quit. Ilya Sutskever and Jan Leike posted on X very bland, non-descript resignation messages, but Jan has complained in the past that OpenAI's "safety culture and processes have taken a backseat to shiny products". Those bland messages seem to be deliberate because OpenAI makes all employees that sign an "extremely restrictive off-boarding agreement that contains nondisclosure and non-disparagement provisions former OpenAI employees are subject to. It forbids them, for the rest of their lives, from criticizing their former employer. Even acknowledging that the NDA exists is a violation of it". That's some serious cult type shit.
