Last checked: 4/9/2026
The source text is an archived personal website from 2009-2011 that contains biographical information about Jacob Hilton but makes no mention of OpenAI employment, a researcher role, alignment work, or any dates matching the claimed 2021-2024 employment period. The source does not address the specific claims in the record. This is a case of wrong source relevance — the source discusses a person's personal website but does not contain information about their professional employment at OpenAI. The claims cannot be verified or contradicted based on this source.
