- Anthropic did not withdraw that safeguard. It said it would keep the frontier-LLM-development safeguard but make it visible to users, with flagged requests falling back visibly to Opus 4.8.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noam_Shazeer
- Shazeer was born in 1976, not “1975 or 1976.” Contemporary and retrospective sources identify 1976 specifically.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VH1
- Warner-Amex Satellite Entertainment was not a division of Warner Communications alone; it was a joint venture between Warner Communications and American Express.
- This is outdated: VH1 Denmark was shut down and replaced by Nick Music in spring 2024, so it no longer had any current programming.
- VH1 Soul did not first become BET Jams. VH1 Soul was renamed directly to BET Soul on December 28, 2015; BET Jams is a separate channel.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grammy_Lifetime_Achievement_Award
- The Grammy Trustees Award is not simply an award for “non-performers.” The Recording Academy defines it as honoring contributions other than performance, and its official recipient list includes performers.

de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vikariat_(evangelisch)
- Die Formulierung benennt die Rechtsgrundlage falsch: Vikar*innen handeln nicht „kraft der Ordination“ ihrer Mentor*innen. Offizielle Kirchenquellen beschreiben stattdessen eine eigene Beauftragung/Erlaubnis für den Vorbereitungsdienst sowie Aufsicht und Verantwortung der Ausbilder.
- Die genannte Mindestdauer ist zu hoch verallgemeinert. Im geltenden Pfarrausbildungsgesetz der UEK soll das Gemeindevikariat mindestens sechs Monate dauern, nicht mindestens ein Jahr.

- This misstates the photophores’ position. Te Papa’s anatomical description places each ocular photophore on the rear of the eyeball, beside the outer edge of the lens—not on the front.
- 120 m is not the upper limit of sperm whale sonar range. The eye-size paper this topic comes from explicitly says sperm whale sonar exceeds 120 m, and later field studies report sensing ranges over 1,000 m.

- OpenAI did not officially retire GPT-4o on August 7, 2025. During the GPT-5 launch, 4o was deprecated/removed from normal access and then restored on August 12; OpenAI lists GPT-4o’s actual ChatGPT retirement date as February 13, 2026.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Committee_on_Foreign_Investment_in_the...
- This dates Section 721 too early. CFIUS was created by executive order in 1975, but Section 721 of the Defense Production Act was added later in 1988 by the Exon-Florio amendment.
- The original 1975 executive order named the Council on International Economic Policy, not the Council on Foreign Economic Policy.
- This overstates CFIUS filing requirements. Treasury says the process is largely voluntary, with mandatory filings only in some circumstances.
- CFIUS cannot extend the President’s 15-day review period. The law provides a 15-day extension for the investigation phase in extraordinary circumstances, not for presidential review.
- This penalty statement is outdated and too broad. Current CFIUS regulations allow penalties up to $5 million for several categories of violations, and the $250,000 cap now applies only to some older mitigation agreements/orders.
- The February 21, 2025 'America First Investment Policy' was issued as a presidential memorandum, not an executive order.
- DOJ said its February 2026 action was to enforce a presidential order, not a 'CFIUS ruling.' Under Section 721, CFIUS reviews and recommends; the President issues prohibition/divestment orders.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodhart%27s_law
- This misdefines rational expectations. In economics, rational expectations is about how people form forecasts using available information so they are not systematically wrong, not a theory that people optimize behavior within a reward-and-punishment system.
- The cited scholar's name is wrong here. Strathern refers to Keith Hoskin, and the referenced 1996 chapter is authored by Keith Hoskin, not 'Hoskins.'

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Goodhart
- Arthur Lehman Goodhart became Oxford's Professor of Jurisprudence in 1931, not 1936.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_African_Reserve_Bank
- This interest-rate figure is out of date. The South African Reserve Bank's official policy rate was raised to 7% effective 29 May 2026.
- This shareholder count is outdated. The SARB says it has more than 800 shareholders today, not 696.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ottis_Toole
- This misstates the 1983 arson case. Contemporary and court sources show Toole was serving a 20-year sentence for two arson convictions tied to fires in May 1983, not a single arson incident in April 1983.
- At that time, Toole was not imprisoned for two murders. Sources from 1983 say he was in custody on arson charges and awaiting trial on other charges.
- Ada Johnson is generally identified in reliable sources as 19, not 20.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burke_and_Hare_murders
- This overstates and misdescribes the legal supply of bodies before 1832. Executed criminals—especially hanged murderers—were also a lawful source for dissection, so it was not limited to prison deaths, suicides, foundlings, and orphans.
- This description of the legal supply is wrong because it leaves out executed criminals. Before the Anatomy Act 1832, bodies of executed murderers were a lawful source for anatomical dissection in Scotland.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_E._Douglas
- UVA’s official Thomas Jefferson Awards records do not list John E. Douglas as a recipient, and the awards are reserved for long-serving UVA faculty or staff.
- The FBI says the unit later called the BAU was the Behavioral Science Unit, not Douglas’s criminal profiling program.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kidnapping
- This sentence inaccurately merges several different Pakistan Penal Code offenses and penalties into one rule. Pakistan law sets different punishments for kidnapping related to murder, grievous hurt/slavery, or lust, and some of those offenses can carry death or longer prison terms.
- This is wrong under the current Canadian Criminal Code. Kidnapping is indictable only and punishable by life imprisonment; the summary-conviction option applies to forcible confinement, not kidnapping.
- This misstates the Dutch statute. Article 282 covers unlawful deprivation of liberty, while hostage-taking (gijzeling) is addressed separately in Article 282a.
