About the archive

What this is

Drama by OpenAI is an independent chronological record of notable events involving OpenAI.

It exists to keep track of what happened, when it happened, and how the story changed. The name is for fun.

Editorial principles

1. Cite sources.

   Make the underlying record easy to find and inspect.

2. Separate allegations from verified facts.

   A claim in a lawsuit is a claim. An interpretation is an interpretation. Labels matter.

3. Include relevant responses.

   Represent OpenAI and other involved parties fairly.

4. Correct mistakes transparently.

   Record substantive changes and explain what was corrected.

5. Prefer primary sources.

   Use original statements, court filings, and research documents, alongside credible reporting.

Reading the record

The five-dot drama level is an editorial indicator based on public impact, consequences, and attention.

“Resolved” means the immediate incident or policy response reached an outcome. “Historical” marks a documented milestone. “Disputed” means substantive claims remain contested. “Ongoing Drama” marks a developing entry.

Dates usually refer to the public announcement or report; any exceptions appear in the entry.

A record that can be corrected

The archive is maintained as local structured data. Corrections can be recorded with the relevant entry and in the project’s correction log.

For a useful correction, include the event, the specific statement, and a primary source or credible report supporting the change.
