Documented path
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.

What this record cannot tell you
1 record reports a role or state at a single date. A snapshot establishes neither when the role began nor when it ended.
No end date or departure announcement is recorded for OpenAI. That is a coverage gap: it does not mean the person remained.
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.
No authorship record.
Explicit credits
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.
No governance record.
