The documented path, undated records, works, credits, governance records and every other claim on this page, with evidence locations, qualifications, the computed limits, stored paraphrases and permitted short quotes. Original documents are not included.
Original sources for a reference manager. Every source this export cites, for Zotero, EndNote and similar tools. Cite the original documents, not Selekoa, and check each entry against them.
Roles, founding, launches and departures in date order. A snapshot is one dated report, not a tenure. An interval keeps only the start and end its source states, and a missing end is unknown. One row following another does not mean one role led to the next.

Stated reason, as given by John Schulman (2024-08-06)
Schulman stated that the choice stemmed from his wish to deepen his focus on AI alignment and to return to hands-on technical work. Attributed to John Schulman, in “Post of 6 August 2024 (UTC) sharing his note on leaving OpenAI”; not a finding about why it happened.

What this record cannot tell you
2 records report a role or state at a single date. A snapshot establishes neither when the role began nor when it ended.
Records: ·
3 records have no defensible date. They are listed under Undated and cannot be placed in sequence with the dated records.
Records: · ·
1 record rests on sources published after the date or period described. Later accounts can compress, omit or re-title earlier roles.
Records:
4 records cite a source whose publication date is unknown, so when the account was written cannot be established.
Records: · · ·
No end date or departure announcement is recorded for Thinking Machines Lab. That is a coverage gap: it does not mean the person remained.
Records: ·
Nothing here records why a person moved, or that one role led to another. Authorship and a printed affiliation do not show employment. A record that has not been collected is missing, and its absence disproves nothing.
Works authored
Authorship as credited in each document. A credit does not imply sole authorship.
Documents that expressly credit this person, within the scope each record states. Credit that this person gives in their own work appears on that work’s document page.
No explicit credit is recorded.
Governance roles
Records classified under governance, such as board actions and executive appointments announced as governance events. They also appear in the documented path where they are role or departure records.
