How in the world OpenAI didn't sign non-compete with MS, how can MS hire OpenAI employees so blatantly?? What the actual fuck
Non-competes are illegal in California. Which they should be.
California is just ahead of the game, as they are in a lot of different ways. Non-competes are, and I'm paraphrasing a lawyer friend here since I'm not one, functionally dead in the water. They're generally honored because no one wants to hash it out in court for months that they could be relaxing or transitioning to the new job anyway. A surgeon I knew left a clinic to start his own, and told his clients to just contact him in six months, not because he cared about the non-compete he had signed, but because it was going to take him about that long to set up the new clinic and hire staff.
Non-competes are illegal in California and should be illegal everywhere else too.

I don't think NCAs are valid in California.
