Canonical address Open the canonical source ↗ Accessed 2026-10-15 Language English (en) Attribution Greg Brockman, “Post of 6 August 2024 (UTC) on taking a sabbatical”, 2024-08-06. Reuse No open redistribution licence asserted. Bibliographic metadata, editorial paraphrases and short attributed quotations (at most 50 words each). Recheck terms before wider redistribution. Check notes Candidate pack passage, lab genealogy (research/lab-genealogy). The paraphrase’s verbatim anchor “since co-founding OpenAI” matched the retrieved text on 2026-10-15 and again in a fresh retrieval the same day. Read through X’s own syndication endpoint for the post’s text, which truncates long notes. Matching ignored differences of whitespace, case, quotation marks, apostrophes, dashes and Unicode compatibility forms, so the source’s typography can differ. The paraphrase is Selekoa’s; only the anchor is the source’s wording. A cross-family machine check (2026-10-16/17) re-read the record’s sources and agreed with the record. No human editorial review. Status and meaning Editorial status. Not reviewed by an editor . An exploratory record that no editor has accepted. This status does not say whether a person has read any linked passage. Each evidence record above shows how it was checked.
Relation. Participation in founding an organisation or research team. Neither sole founding nor legal incorporation is implied.
Date. The post gives no founding date; “9 years ago” in a post of August 2024 is the author’s approximation and is not converted into a date here.
