In the order they appear in the post. Each quotation is the speaker’s words in this post. A label such as “Supported” or “Can’t be checked” is the claim’s current assessment; its page has the evidence and the reasons.
Assessment: SupportedSaid
“My sources assure me that this is NOT a clerical error and that Papan’s office confirms that the change is real.”
What we tested: The change replacing AB-501's content with unrelated provisions is real and not a clerical error, according to the author's sources.
What happened: The official journal records adoption of the author's amendments to AB 501. This establishes an actual legislative action rather than merely an altered webpage. (California State Assembly, )
Assessment: Can’t be checkedSaid
“Media, get out there and find out what happened.”
What we tested: The media should investigate why AB-501 was gutted.

These records did not pass every check, so nothing about them is published. Held is not a finding.
- The two reviews reached different assessments. Our reading, not assessed: Tens of billions of dollars are at stake in OpenAI's conversion to a for-profit.
- The criteria are ambiguous. Our reading, not assessed: California AB-501 as introduced would have stood in the way of OpenAI converting from a nonprofit to a for-profit.
