The best approach to circumventing the nondisclosure agreement is for the affected employees to get together, write out everything they want to say about OpenAI, train an LLM on that text, and then release it.

Based on these companies' arguments that copyrighted material is not actually reproduced by these models, and that any seemingly-infringing use is the responsibility of the user of the model rather than those who produced it, anyone could freely generate an infinite number of high-truthiness OpenAI anecdotes, freshly laundered by the inference engine, that couldn't be used against the original authors without OpenAI invalidating their own legal stance with respect to their own models.

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.

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.
