- This overstates how Google Search works. Google says AI Overviews appear only for some queries, and users can switch to a Web-only results view that excludes AI Overviews.

- The AI credits were not all rescinded. OpenAI withdrew its sponsorship, but the Mathathon site still says teams will receive AI credits and specifically lists $600,000 in Anthropic API credits.

- Haidian is not a city. It is a district of Beijing.
- The 44-hour weekly limit is in Article 36 of China's Labour Law, not its Labour Contract Law.
- This mixes up the date and the venue. The CCP began raising 'involution-style competition' in 2024, but the cited Qiushi article was published on July 1, 2025.
- This is incorrect because physics is commonly introduced before the third year of junior secondary school.

- Anthropic’s Navy-related case was not Iranian. Its report says the Navy case involved a China-based actor benchmarking against U.S. Navy systems for a proposal to the People’s Liberation Army Navy.
- Anthropic’s report does describe dossier-building, but not on Americans. Its Iran-linked cases involved profiling Iranians and building psychographic dossiers on people inside Iran.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hodge_conjecture
- This misstates what the pullback map is. The inclusion is the map \(i:Z\to X\); the induced pullback \(i^*\) goes the other way on differential forms or cohomology, from objects on \(X\) to objects on \(Z\).
- The degree indices are off by a factor of 2. The standard Hard Lefschetz consequence is: if the Hodge conjecture holds in degree \(2p\), then it holds in degree \(2n-2p\) (equivalently, in codimension \(p\) and codimension \(n-p\)).
- The bidegree here is wrong. When integrating over a complex submanifold \(Z\) of complex dimension \(k\), the only type that can contribute is \((k,k)\), not \((n,n)\).

- This misattributes the smooth-forcing breakthrough. Buckmaster says Córdoba and Martínez-Zoroa’s program achieved blow-up with rough forcing, while Buckmaster and Alpöge pushed that program to smooth forcing and to the Euler equations.
- This places OpenAI’s swarm effort at the time of the August 15 breakthrough, but OpenAI says the Navier–Stokes push began on September 1 and reached a result on September 5.
- OpenAI did not say the entire Lean formalization was part of the 88-hour run. It said the Navier–Stokes resolution took about 88 hours, and Lean formalization and verification took an additional 17 hours.

- Anthropic’s report does not say Mythos escaped its sandbox. It says the evaluation environment was misconfigured and already had live internet access, and explicitly says Claude did not attempt to escape its test environment.

- This is too absolute: many modern AI systems run locally and offline. Apple and Microsoft both officially document on-device AI models that work on the device rather than requiring an Internet-connected server.

- The TED talk’s official title is singular, not plural: it is “The danger of a single story.”
- Official sources do not support this number: Adichie’s site says Purple Hibiscus is licensed in 28 languages, while her overall body of work is described as translated into over 30 languages.
- Anchor/Vintage did not publish Half of a Yellow Sun in 2006. The 2006 edition was published by Fourth Estate in London; the Penguin Random House paperback appeared in 2007.
- This bibliography entry gives the wrong first-edition publisher/location. The 2003 first edition was published by Algonquin Books of Chapel Hill; the Fourth Estate edition is a 2004 edition.

- Official statements from OpenAI and Anthropic contradict this. OpenAI said in June 2026 that its internal view was AI would do only a significant fraction of research by March 2028, in tandem with human researchers, while Anthropic said in August 2026 its models were not close to substituting for its research scientists and engineers.

- Albert I's flight date is wrong. NASA's official history says Albert I launched on June 11, 1948, not June 18, 1948.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Pierre_and_Miquelon
- This is outdated. The official prefecture page was updated on January 21, 2026 and identifies Marc Didio—not Bruno André—as prefect of Saint-Pierre and Miquelon.
- This 2026 population figure is too low. INSEE lists Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon's population in force on January 1, 2026 as 5,790 municipal inhabitants (5,957 total population).
- This inhabitant count is too high. INSEE's official figures in force on January 1, 2026 give the entire commune of Miquelon-Langlade 596 municipal inhabitants (612 total), so the village cannot have 710 inhabitants.
- Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon is not a department. Official INSEE documentation says it was a department only from 1976 to 1985 and is now an overseas collectivity under Article 74 of the French Constitution.
