- Steam was announced in 2002, not launched then. Valve’s own records say Steam was created in 2003 and the Steam client was released on September 12, 2003.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gabe_Newell
- The Heart of Racing was not created in 2020 by Gabe Newell and Yahn Bernier. Official team history traces it back to a 1997 fundraising campaign, and motorsport coverage shows the team had already raced in IMSA from 2014 to 2016 before returning in 2020.
- This is overstated. Forbes lists Gabe Newell at about $11 billion, but also lists NetEase founder William Ding—whose wealth comes from online games—at roughly $39 billion, making Newell clearly not the wealthiest person in the video game business.

- This is incorrect: paper non-cEDH Magic events outside the Pro Tour and Arena do offer cash prizes. Wizards’ own 2026 Spotlight Series events have $50,000 prize pools, and Regional Championships also have cash prize pools.

- WSNは『2年後』ではなく、1992年の第1回国際絞り会議の開催中に組織化されたと公式サイトが説明しています。

- ここは地名の取り違えです。アイギナ（Aegina）はアテネ近くの島で、マケドニア王国の王宮都市はアイガイ（Aigai）やペラであり、「マケドニア王国の宮殿のあったアイギナ島」という記述は誤りです。

- This end date is wrong. Reuters reported that the CFTC approved Polymarket’s U.S. relaunch on September 3, 2025, and a CFTC filing shows Polymarket US was designated in July 2025.
- This overstates the deal as a completed $2 billion investment. Contemporary reports and ICE’s announcement said ICE agreed to invest up to $2 billion, with Polymarket valued at about $8 billion pre-investment.
- This date and characterization are wrong. Reporting and ISW’s own statement say the problematic map edit was an unauthorized overnight edit on November 15–16, not an official ISW indication on November 14.
- This is outdated. Kalshi’s own help documentation says the platform is now accessible internationally, not exclusive to U.S. users.

- This is true for ReLU, but not for GELU. GELU is defined as x·Φ(x), so negative inputs are generally not clipped to zero and their gradients are not zeroed out in the ReLU sense.
- Anthropic’s cofounder and president is Daniela Amodei, not “Daniella” Amodei.

- The percentage is off by orders of magnitude. If humanity eventually numbers in the trillions, being roughly the 100–117 billionth human means being in the first ~10% of a 1-trillion total or ~1.2% of a 10-trillion total, not 0.001% or less.
- This mixes up two different meanings of μ in geometric Brownian motion. In standard GBM, log returns have mean (μ − ½σ²)Δt, not μΔt; if log returns really had mean μ, then the time-average log-growth rate would be μ, not μ − ½σ².

- This overstates the effect of instruction-tuning and RLHF. Official docs from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google still describe modern chatbots as generating output token by token, with post-training refining that behavior rather than replacing it.

- The underlying write-up says the $15 figure was only the variable usage cost and explicitly notes an additional ElevenLabs subscription fee, so it was not the full all-in cost.

- The tournament did not establish America’s first professional Go player overall. It produced the first U.S.-/AGA-certified pro, but Americans such as James Kerwin and Michael Redmond had already become professional players decades earlier.
- Andy Liu was not the first American professional Go player overall. He was the first AGA-certified/U.S.-certified pro; Americans had already turned professional in Japan decades earlier.

- ViacomCBS already operated CBS All Access in 2020. Paramount+ launched on March 4, 2021 as a rebrand built on that existing streaming service, so the company was not without a streaming service during that period.

- This overstates the change. Washington sales/use tax already applied to many non-physical digital products and software before the 2025 law.
- Washington does not tax '100%' of these purchases regardless of where users are. State guidance includes exclusions and allows apportionment for in-state vs. out-of-state use.
- Washington says digital advertising is generally sourced to where the ads are disseminated/received, not automatically taxed by Washington when the audience is in Germany.

- The percentage is miscalculated. $900 million out of about $39.1 billion is roughly 2.3%, not “almost 3%."
- This dollar figure is too high. University of Chicago sources say Rockefeller gave a little over $35 million to the university, not $80 million.
- This count is outdated. Rockefeller University currently says 26 Nobel Prize winners have been associated with the university, not 23.

- This is chronologically wrong. The Treaty of Darin was superseded by the 1927 Treaty of Jeddah; the 1952 Dammam conference was a separate boundary conference, not the act that replaced Darin.
- Saudi slavery was abolished in 1962, not 1967, and the emancipation decree was issued during King Saud's reign, with Prince Faisal announcing it as crown prince and prime minister.
- Lawrence was not sent to the Hejaz in 1915. Sources place his mission there in October 1916, after the Arab Revolt had already begun.
- The Roosevelt–Ibn Saud meeting on USS Quincy was on February 14, 1945, not a three-day meeting.
