NoteThe record claims Jason Wei was at Google Brain as a Research Scientist with endDate 2023. However, the source text states 'From 2023 to 2025, I was at OpenAI' immediately after mentioning 'Before that, I was a research scientist at Google Brain.' This indicates he transitioned from Google Brain to OpenAI in 2023, not that his Google Brain tenure ended in 2023. The source does not provide a specific start date for Google Brain, so the startDate of 2020 is unverifiable but not contradicted. The endDate of 2023 is technically consistent with leaving before/around 2023, but the phrasing 'From 2023 to 2025, I was at OpenAI' suggests the transition occurred in 2023. The critical issue is that the record presents an incomplete picture: it omits his subsequent roles at OpenAI (2023-2025) and Meta Superintelligence Labs (current), making the record outdated or incomplete rather than factually wrong about the 2020-2023 period itself. However, if the record is meant to represent his current or complete employment history, the absence of end context and the implicit suggestion that 2023 was his final role contradicts the source's indication of subsequent employment.
