ITT: a bunch of laymen thinking their 2 second proposal will outlawyer the team of lawyers who drafted these.

You haven't worked with many contracts, have you? Unenforceable clauses are the norm, most people are willing to follow them rather than risk having to fight them in court.

>>beastm+(OP)
Lawyers are 100% capable of knowingly crafting unenforceable agreements.

You don’t need to out-litigate the bear,

>>beastm+(OP)
I am a lawyer. This is not just a general release, and I have no idea how OpenAI's lawyers expect this to be legal.

>>throwa+I
Bingo.

I have seen a lot of companies put unenforceable stuff into their employment agreements, separation agreements, etc.

>>mminer+84
Have you read the actual document or contracts? Opining on stuff you haven't actually read seems premature. Read the contract, then tell us which clause violates which statute, that's useful.

>>mminer+84
Out of curiosity, what are the penalties for putting unenforceable stuff in an employment contract?

Are there any?

>>ethbr1+Lb
Typically there is no penalty - and contracts explicitly declare that all clauses are severable so that the rest of the contract remains valid even if one of the scare-clauses is found to be invalid. IANAL
