OpenAI is reportedly asking contractors to upload real work from past jobs

How can someone do that without violating confidentiality agreements from their past jobs? Just feels unethical to say the least.

kevmo314•6h ago

Given the breadth of copyrighted training data laundered through these models, the ethics ship has long sailed.

ungreased0675•6h ago

OpenAI was built on stolen data. Why shouldn’t they continue?

jdlshore•4h ago

Not a lawyer, but this seems like a pretty direct violation of copyright law. Even if AI’s use of it isn’t infringing, copying the files for upload seems like it must be. Scrubbing proprietary data doesn’t mean they’re suddenly public domain.

Who’s on the hook here, though? The contractor uploading the file is the actual person doing the copying. Or is OpenAI culpable for directing them to do so?

KellyCriterion•4h ago

According to my understanding (IANAL), you dont have to go that far into copyright law - Id guess its already breaking working/conract in the very first second just by copying it and "carrying it out of the building", regardless if you spread it on the internet later on?

Actually two breaches, if Im not wrong then?

aussieguy1234•1h ago

Legal issues aside, if a contractor does this and actually uploads confidential code from previous jobs, what's to say that they won't then upload OpenAIs secret code for future jobs after OpenAI?

Sounds a lot like they're shooting themselves in the foot with this requirement.
