Multiple news reports describing the incident (based on sources familiar with the breach) distinguish **when the breach happened** from **when OpenAI told employees/its board**: - **The Independent** reports that the "data breach occurred earlier this year" (i.e., earlier than April 2023) and separately states that "OpenAI executives revealed the incident to employees... in **April 2023**." This contradicts the post's claim that the hacker *gained access* in April 2023. - **Tom's Hardware** similarly summarizes that the breach happened "early" in the year and that OpenAI disclosed it internally in April 2023. So, while April 2023 appears to be when OpenAI **disclosed** the breach internally, the available reporting does **not** support April 2023 as the month the hacker first gained access.

The post’s infobox lists Aschenbrenner’s education as **“Columbia University (BS)”**. However: 1) Columbia’s official announcement of the **2021 valedictorian** identifies him as **“Leopold Aschenbrenner CC’21”** (i.e., **Columbia College**, not the School of Engineering and Applied Science). 2) Columbia College’s own bulletin explains that Columbia College students complete requirements for, and are awarded, the **Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree**. Putting these together: if he is a **Columbia College** graduate (CC’21), the degree would be a **B.A.**, so the “(BS)” label is inconsistent with Columbia’s published degree information.
