1 prediction · 1 opinion · every statement was checked. The prediction and assertions are the 1 claim: statements the public record can support or contradict. 0 are resolved, and 1 names no date, number or outcome precise enough to check. Everything else (opinions, insights, what ifs, disclosures) can never be settled by the record, so it carries no assessment.

Opinion
Deng: OpenAI executive churn is a feature of elite recruiting, not failure
“My take on this is it's actually a feature, not a bug. It's a feature of having insanely great talent. I think Sam is N of one at recruiting with really ambitious, talented people. And in a time when you can build anything, you should expect the churn.”
