Is this a legally enforceable suppression of free speech? If so, are there ways to be open about OpenAI, without triggering punitive action?

>>a_wild+jt
OpenAI is not the government. Yet.

Free speech is a much more general notion than anything having to do with governments.

The first amendment is a US free speech protection, but it's not prototypical.

You can also find this in some other free speech protections, for example that in the UDHR

>Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.

doesn't refer to states at all.

Free speech is a God-given right. It is innate and given to you and everyone at birth, after which it can only be suppressed but never revoked.

I know it is popular, but I distrust "natural rights" rhetoric like this.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

I mean to say there are certain rights we all have, simply for existing as humans. The right to breathe is a good example. No human, state, or otherwise has the moral high-ground to take these rights from us. They are not granted, or given, they are absolute and unequivocal.

It's not rhetoric, it's basic John Locke. Also your trust is an internal locus, and doesn't change the facts.
