Well, they say they are. But the nondisparagement agreement repeatedly forbids revealing the agreement itself, so if it wasn't cancelled those subject to it would be forbidden to point out that the public claim they were going to release people from it was a lie (or done only for people from whom OpenAI was not particularly concerned about potential disparagement.)

If your concern is in the validating that they've done so, the article author can at least vet with her anonymous sources.

“I have not been released from any exit agreement” is not disparagement.

“disparagement" is whatever is defined in the agreement, which reportedly (from one of the people who declined to sign it) includes discussing the existence of the agreement.

Dear heavens, being a corporate employee is paranoia and depression-inducing. It's literally like walking into a legal minefield.

This is not normal for being a corporate employee. This was certainly going to come out eventually and cause big problems, but to the extent Sam thinks AGI is around the corner he might not be playing the long game.
