This page records material published corrections and explains whether a change reflects new evidence or a revised interpretation. A changed coordinate alone does not establish that someone changed their mind. Read the method.

  1. Daniel Card: direct article and map search

    Added a directly retrieved PwnDefend article to distinguish available original commentary from the supplied X copies. Map searches now expose matching profiles without a position. Card remains unplaced: the reviewed material does not establish both axes. No ideology label or coordinate has been inferred.

    If it’s so powerful, it’s a shame you didn’t use it for defense design · Supplied export of an X post endorsing AI opportunities and security collaboration (editorial description) · Supplied export of an X reply on software design, opportunities and risks (editorial description)

  2. LeCun: newer context, unchanged map position

    Added 2026 material on research openness, warnings about actions and consequences, and his current role. The two-axis placement still rests on the 2024 interview. Coordinates and ranges are unchanged; this update does not establish a change in his views.

  3. a16z: personal advocacy does not establish a firm position

    The earlier map placed Andreessen Horowitz from Marc Andreessen’s manifesto, scoped as platform advocacy. The essay’s footer attributes the views to individual personnel and excludes a16z Capital Management and its affiliates. The firm is now unplaced because the reviewed material does not establish both axes at firm level. Marc Andreessen’s personal record remains separate.

  4. Anthropic: distinguish evaluator access from a general slowdown

    The pace anchor changed from -26 to 0, and its range from [-48, 5] to [-35, 45]. The company’s unilateral commitment in the cited essay is access for external evaluators. Its Responsible Scaling Policy describes development delays under specified conditions. The revised placement separates evaluator access from a general preference to slow development. The concern anchor remains 51. This is an editorial reassessment, not evidence that the company changed its position.
