- Arnulf Schuchmann is not ODEG’s current CEO/managing director. ODEG’s own imprint lists Stefan Neubert and Lars Gehrke as the company’s managing directors, and ODEG announced that Schuchmann left in 2020.
- This is outdated for the RE10. ODEG’s own 2025/2026 network no longer includes RE10, and ODEG announced that RE10 was discontinued from the December 14, 2025 timetable change.

- The transcript supports a strong dismissal of video generation, but not this same categorical claim about world models. On world models, Liang says they are 'not the most important thing at this stage,' which is narrower than saying they have 'no relation' to intelligence.

- That overstates how stagnant these problems were. Several of the ten areas had substantive progress in the last few years, including 2023–2025 papers that improved bounds or resolved major special cases.

- VITAL randomization was not stratified by baseline vitamin D levels. The trial papers say randomization was stratified by sex, race, and age group, while baseline blood sampling was optional and available for only about two-thirds of participants.
- This omits D2d. In the D2d trial, all 2,423 participants had vitamin D levels measured at baseline, so VITAL, ViDA, and FIND were not the only major trials with substantial baseline measurement.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simulacra_and_Simulation
- The translator's surname is Paul Patton, not "Paul Batton." Bibliographic records for the 1983 English translation list Paul Foss, Paul Patton, and Philip Beitchman.
- This mixes up two different English publications. Semiotext(e) published *Simulations* in 1983, but the first full-length English *Simulacra and Simulation* was published by the University of Michigan Press in 1994.
- Borges's story does not say the map grew or shrank with conquests and losses. It says later generations found the 1:1 map useless and abandoned it to the weather, leaving only tattered ruins.
- Borges's story does not end with the empire collapsing and only the map remaining. It says only tattered ruins of the map survive in the western deserts.

- Jack Clark is no longer Anthropic's head of policy. Anthropic said in March 2026 that he became Head of Public Benefit, while Sarah Heck leads the Public Policy team.
- Anthropic identified the Colossus 1 compute partnership as a deal with SpaceX, not xAI. Its official May 6, 2026 announcement repeatedly names SpaceX as the counterparty.

- United States v. Bankman-Fried was a criminal case against Samuel Bankman-Fried himself, not a case against his “corporate ventures.” DOJ materials identify the defendant as Samuel Bankman-Fried and say the indictment was unsealed on December 13, 2022.
- MacAskill did not leave his Oxford appointment after one year. His own website says he was an Associate Professor at Oxford from 2015 to 2024, and his CV lists the Lincoln College/Oxford post as beginning in August 2015.

- Prospect Genomics was not acquired by a Lilly subsidiary in 2001. It was acquired by Structural GenomiX/SGX in May 2001, and Lilly moved to acquire SGX later, in 2008.
- AstraZeneca agreed to buy Icosavax in 2023, but the acquisition was completed in 2024. So the article's acquisition year is wrong.
- TED does not list an award called the 'Audacious Prize.' TED says the TED Prize became The Audacious Project in 2018, and UW describes Baker's institute as receiving support through The Audacious Project.

- OpenAI’s own release notes do not show any April 10, 2023 launch of a model called “GPT-3.5 with Browsing (ALPHA).” OpenAI announced browsing for ChatGPT on March 23, 2023 and rolled web browsing to Plus users in beta on May 12, 2023.
- OpenAI’s official release notes say web browsing began rolling out to ChatGPT Plus users on May 12, 2023, not April 27, 2023.

- This misstates Christiano’s current NIST role. His current bio says he is a technical advisor at CAISI, and his official NIST page lists his 2024 title as Head of AI Safety for the U.S. AI Safety Institute—not Head of Safety for CAISI.

- The 1964–1965 New York World's Fair did not close in 1966; it closed in 1965.

- Miguel and Dante were added to the Mexico scene, not the South America room.

- This infobox entry is out of date: Haikou's mayor is Zhang Yong, not Ding Hui.
- The school is no longer called Hainan Medical College; it was officially renamed Hainan Medical University in 2024.
- The completion timetable here is outdated. Official project sources still described the tower as under construction in 2024–2026, with completion projected for late 2026 or 2027, not 2020–2023.

- OpenAI’s own announcement does not say Astra solved ten open problems outright. It says the model produced ten results on long-open problems, and several listed items are partial advances like improved bounds or new lower bounds rather than complete problem solutions.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wu_Han_(historian)
- This compresses two different moves into one. Wu Han went to Yunnan University in 1937; National Southwestern Associated University was founded in Kunming in 1938, and Tsinghua says Wu transferred there in 1940.
- The June 1959 People's Daily essay was not titled "Hai Rui Dismissed from Office." It was "Hai Rui Scolds the Emperor" (海瑞骂皇帝), published under Wu Han's pen name Liu Mianzhi.
- This is too broad and incorrect. Ming history was not generally a taboo subject under the Qing: the Qing court itself commissioned the official History of Ming, and scholars in the late Ming/early Qing produced many private Ming-history works.

- Das Auswandererschutzgesetz verbietet nach seinem aktuellen Wortlaut zwar geschäftsmäßige Werbung für Auswanderung, enthält aber keine Regel über ein Verbot von Prämien oder Reisekostenzuschüssen und auch keine Ausnahme für „Mobilitätsstipendien“ in EU-Mitgliedstaaten.
