- Cursor says it was acquired by SpaceX, not by an entity called “SpaceXAI.” A SpaceX 8-K states Cursor would survive the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Space Exploration Technologies Corp.
- June 2026 was when SpaceX signed the merger agreement; the acquisition did not complete until August 14, 2026. And the official filings say Cursor became a subsidiary of SpaceX, not “SpaceXAI.”
- Google DeepMind is Google’s AI lab, not the name of a large language model. Cursor’s own docs say its Google-provided models are Gemini models.
- The cited reports described a fundraise of about $2 billion, not $5 billion. Bloomberg reported ‘about $2 billion,’ and The Information reported a ‘$2 billion investment’ at a $50 billion valuation.

- DeepSeek-R1 was not a small model. DeepSeek’s own materials list R1 at 671B total parameters with 37B activated per token, and distinguish it from separate smaller distilled models.

- This is incorrect: human CRISPR treatments were already legal in regulated clinical use, and they do not have to be done at the embryo stage.
- The ZFHX2 family was not pain-immune; the published literature describes reduced or non-global pain sensitivity, with some pain still present.
- These were not patients. The BIA 10-2474 phase I study was conducted in healthy volunteers.

- Human red blood cells and blood-vessel cells do not have cell walls, and oxygen transport in blood depends on hemoglobin inside red blood cells, not on taurine-built "cell walls." Taurine is a free amino-sulfonic acid with other known roles, not a structural building block for blood-cell or vessel walls.
- Leukemia is not a carcinoid tumor. Leukemia is a cancer of blood-forming tissue such as bone marrow, while carcinoid tumors are a type of neuroendocrine tumor usually found in the gastrointestinal tract or lungs.

- Billboard reported 62,000 as the album’s total SoundScan sales, not its first-week sales.

- Stone’s national tour with Hinton Battle’s Love Lies was announced for 2013, not summer 2012.
- Angie Stone’s role in Chicago was Matron “Mama” Morton, not “Big Mama Morton.”

pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film_Zaprudera
- Ustawa z 1992 r. nie sprawiła od razu, że film stał się własnością rządu USA. Po wejściu ustawy w życie rodzina Zapruderów nadal była właścicielem filmu; jego przejęcie jako własności publicznej nastąpiło dopiero 1 sierpnia 1998 r., a odszkodowanie ustalono w 1999 r.
- Pierwsze trzy kopie filmu Zaprudera wykonano 22 listopada 1963 r., jeszcze w dniu zamachu, a nie 23 listopada.
- Źródła nie mówią, że Zapruder zobaczył prawdziwą reklamę na Times Square. Mówią, że miał koszmar o takim napisie, i to ten koszmar skłonił go do wyłączenia klatki 313 z publikacji.

- The 1992 JFK Records Act did not immediately make the Zapruder film U.S. government property. Official records say the Zapruder family still held legal ownership after the Act, and the film was transferred to the JFK Collection effective August 1, 1998.
- This reverses the timeline. The Church Committee was created on January 27, 1975, before the March 6, 1975 TV broadcast, and the Hart-Schweiker JFK inquiry was part of the Church Committee’s work—not something that led to it.

- OpenAI's own writeup says the model behind the Navier–Stokes result was built with large-scale reinforcement learning on top of an already pretrained model, not a fresh pretraining run.
- OpenAI did say it had been training a new internal model since August 28, but it also said the system used here was RL on top of a previously pretrained model—so describing it as only two weeks into pretraining is inaccurate.

- These dates are off by about a year: Schmidt remained Alphabet's executive chairman until January 2018 and then served as technical advisor from 2018 to 2020.
- Rise is not limited to lower-income countries. The program is global, and official Rise materials say it seeks 15- to 17-year-olds from around the world.
- Official commission documents list Schmidt as chair and Robert O. Work as vice chair, not co-chairs.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_the_Alamo
- Official Alamo sources place the Army’s roof/parapet work in 1850, not 1849.
- John Henry Brown’s Alamo-related histories were published in the 1890s, decades after Reuben M. Potter’s 1860 Alamo history.
- The $400 million figure referred to the broader Alamo redevelopment plan, not to the single property owned by the bar operator.
- The 1936 stamp commemorated the Texas Declaration of Independence centennial, not the Battle of the Alamo centennial.

- AI 2040 does include a CO2 cap-and-trade assumption, but the article misstates what the 3.0°C figure means. In the source, +3.0°C is a modeled equilibrium temperature under a fossil-fuel-only counterfactual, not a warming threshold the policy is trying to avoid 'by 2040.'

- This misstates an Epoch AI/EPRI forecast about AI data-center power demand as if it were about all data centers. The 5 GW to 50+ GW estimate in that report is specifically for AI power demand/AI data-center capacity, not total U.S. data-center load.

- Ο Austin Chen όντως εξήγησε δημόσια γιατί η Ellison χρησιμοποιούσε το ψευδώνυμο “Carol”. Στην ανακοίνωση της 11ης Σεπτεμβρίου 2026 δίνει τη δική του εξήγηση, ενώ και η ίδια η Ellison εξηγεί τον λόγο.

- This overstates earlier models’ weaknesses. Before the o-series, OpenAI had already reported models solving nontrivial competition-math problems, including AIME/IMO-style problems, and GPT-4o solving some AIME questions.

- This is incorrect because glycine is a proteinogenic amino acid but is achiral, so it is neither L- nor D-α-amino acid.
- This overstates the case: ribosomal proteins also contain glycine, which is achiral rather than left-handed.
- This misdefines molecular handedness. Chirality is about a molecule being non-superposable on its mirror image; optical rotation is a separate measured property.
- This description is incorrect: a D-peptide is a peptide made from D-amino acids, not a class of amino acids.
