One other thing has to do with the procedural posture. On a motion to dismiss, Courts are not generally supposed to evaluate facts at all. A motion to dismiss is essentially an argument by the defense that, even if all those accusations are true, they don’t amount to a legal claim.
By contrast, a preliminary injunction doeslook at facts. So one reason for different treatment of the Encode brief vs. the ex-employees brief is that they were submitted in response to different motions.
I had a similar thought, and that would make sense to me, but I just don’t know enough about the standards to say what the correct interpretation is. To an extent I feel like its kind of tea-leaf reading and maybe isn’t a good idea, but at the same time I feel like these dynamics could be relevant to how views on AI safety develop among groups that are exposed to those ideas in these formats. I definitely think this won’t be the last court case by far that implicates AI issues, so I feel its worth thinking about how different courses of action could play out.
