"One Tuesday night, as my wife and I sat down for dinner, a sheriff's deputy knocked on the door to serve me a subpoena from OpenAI,"
"I believe OpenAI used the pretext of their lawsuit against Elon Musk to intimidate their critics and imply that Elon is behind all of them,"
"This is not normal. OpenAI used an unrelated lawsuit to intimidate advocates of a bill trying to regulate them. While the bill was still being debated,"
Nathan Calvin received a subpoena at his home delivered by a sheriff's deputy on behalf of OpenAI. OpenAI subpoenaed Encode AI and requested private messages with California legislators, college students, and former OpenAI employees. The subpoenas were issued as part of OpenAI's countersuit against Elon Musk, seeking information about potential funding links and alleging Musk used bad-faith tactics to slow OpenAI. Encode AI advocates for AI safety, circulated an open letter about preserving nonprofit commitments, and supported California's SB 53. Calvin characterized the subpoenas as intimidation and declined to turn over the requested documents. Joshua Achiam called the situation "this doesn't seem great."
