I am disappointed. Using nondisparagement agreements seems bad to me, especially if they’re covered by non-disclosure agreements, especially if you don’t announce that you might use this.
My ask-for-Anthropic now is to explain the contexts in which they have asked or might ask people to incur nondisparagement obligations, and if those are bad, release people and change policy accordingly. And even if nondisparagement obligations can be reasonable, I fail to imagine how non-disclosure obligations covering them could be reasonable, so I think Anthropic should at least do away with the no-disclosure-of-nondisparagement obligations.
