Source details and check notes Authors Bret Taylor Version Web page dated October 28, 2025, by Bret Taylor as chair of the OpenAI board; inspected 2026-09-28 and again live 2026-10-04. Quotes used from 2026-10-04 also match the Internet Archive capture of 2025-10-28 (13:26 UTC), read in a browser because its raw replay holds no article text. Canonical address Open the canonical source ↗ Accessed 2026-10-04 Language English (en) Archive copy Open archived copy, captured 2025-10-28: Built to benefit everyone ↗ . Captured on the recorded publication date. An archive copy shows only what the archive retrieved on 2025-10-28. It does not prove what the page said earlier, and it can differ from the copy checked on 2026-10-04.Attribution Bret Taylor. Built to benefit everyone. Reuse No open redistribution licence asserted. Selekoa practice: metadata, attributed paraphrases and short attributed quotations under the editorial policy (at most 50 words each; at most 400 quoted words per document across the dataset, and about 10% of a document under about 2,000 words). Documents are linked externally, not redistributed. Publisher terms that forbid quotation override this practice. Check notes Candidate pack passage, lab genealogy (research/lab-genealogy). The quotation (8 words) matched the retrieved text on 2026-10-15 and again in a fresh retrieval the same day. Read through the third-party reader relay r.jina.ai, which renders the publisher’s current page (the publisher refused direct retrieval); not an archive copy. Matching ignored differences of whitespace, case, quotation marks, apostrophes, dashes and Unicode compatibility forms, so the source’s typography can differ. A cross-family machine check (2026-10-16/17) re-read the record’s sources and judged it partly supported; its findings were applied at admission. 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. A source states the organisation’s founding date or year, at the precision it gives. Neither legal incorporation nor a complete founder roster is implied.
