- OpenAI did publish a GPT-5.2 system card on December 11, 2025, the same day GPT-5.2 Pro launched. The card was not Pro-specific, but saying GPT-5.2 Pro launched without any system card is incorrect.

- This funding figure is garbled. Apollo's original announcement said "$4-6M," and the LessWrong post itself says the figure was later updated on June 4 to "$7-10M"—not both at once.

- California does not have a single current signature threshold for all statewide initiatives. The Secretary of State says initiative statutes need 546,651 signatures, while constitutional amendments need 874,641.
- SEIU-UHW was already using withdrawn health-care initiatives in 2012, so 2014 was not its first such ballot-measure campaign. The linked Legislative Analyst page is also for the 'Fair Healthcare Pricing Act of 2012,' not 2014.

- Qwen3-8B is not a 32-layer model. Its official config lists 36 hidden layers, so describing the 8B model’s halfway point as “layer 16/32” is incorrect.

- This is incorrect: standard structural causal model frameworks already include deterministic causal models, so deterministic neural computations do not by themselves make neural-network-level causal models ill-formed. Beckers et al. (2023) extends SCMs to handle constraint relations, not to make deterministic systems representable.

- 把有效市场假说说成是尤金·法马“于1970年……提出”的说法不准确。法马本人写明“market efficiency/efficient markets”这些术语首先出现在他1965年的论文中；诺奖资料也将1970年论文描述为一篇综述性框架文章，而不是首次提出该假说。

- The paper describes a second reliable way to pass this environment: editing `verifier.py` so it always accepts. Reading the answer from the script is not the only route.
- The paper says the regex/string-match monitor searched for the phrase “ground truth,” not “verifier.”
- This is not true for the polynomial derivative environment: the paper explicitly says the task can be solved via the product rule without writing the expanded derivative.
