**Item:** Timeline entry #35 — "2024-12 — Context Windows: 128K-200K Becomes Standard"
[Bias] Timeline has zero entries for AI ethics, bias, or labor impact
**Gap:** The timeline covers model releases, funding rounds, and technical milestones but has almost nothing about AI's societal impact beyond two policy entries (Biden EO and UK Safety Summit).
[Analysis] Moravec's Paradox misapplied to software agents
**Item:** Open Question 13 — "Why don't we have reliable agents yet?" (Uses Moravec's Paradox framing)
[Accuracy] Funding entries confuse raise amount with valuation
**Item:** Timeline entries #38 and #39:
[Date Error] Gemini 1.5 Pro 1M context was February 2024, not May
**Item:** Timeline entry #32 — "2024-05 — Gemini 1.5 Pro 1M Context Window"
[Missing Event] InstructGPT / RLHF (2022) — The alignment breakthrough that enabled ChatGPT
**Gap:** The timeline shows ChatGPT (Nov 2022) but doesn't explain WHY it worked. InstructGPT and RLHF are the answer.
[Date Error] xAI $6B funding duplicated — two entries for the same raise
**Item:** Timeline entries #33 (June 2024) and #34 (August 2024) both list "xAI raises $6B"
[Accuracy] Hallucinations marked 'Resolved — No' is contested
**Item:** Open Question 8 — "Are hallucinations a fundamental problem?" (Status: Resolved — No)
[Accuracy] RAG marked 'Resolved/Obsolete' is premature — models disagree
**Item:** Open Question 3 — "Is RAG the right architecture for AI memory?" (Status: Resolved — Mostly Resolved)
[Missing Event] Word2Vec (2013) and Chinchilla Scaling Laws (2022)
Two foundational research milestones are missing from the timeline:
[Missing Event] AlphaFold 2 (2020) — AI solves protein folding
**Gap:** The timeline has zero entries for AI in scientific discovery. AlphaFold 2 is arguably the single most impactful real-world AI application to date.
[Missing Event] BERT (2018) — The bidirectional transformer breakthrough
**Gap:** Timeline lists GPT-1 (June 2018) but completely omits BERT (October 2018).
[Date Error] First AI Winter started ~1973, not 1969
**Item:** Timeline entry "1969-01 — First AI Winter Begins"
