Questions
How do I know a quote is real?
Every quote links to its primary source: the speaker's own post or essay, the company's own release or transcript, or an official page. Before a quote is published the site fetches that page and checks the exact words are on it, and every Friday it checks again. A quote that stops mid-sentence ends with an ellipsis.
Why are some famous quotes missing?
Because they only exist in secondary sources: news articles, screenshots, quote sites. A quote needs a primary source with the exact words. Quotes that go viral without one are left out rather than guessed.
What did Sam Altman say about superintelligence?
In The Gentle Singularity (June 10, 2025) he wrote that humanity is close to building digital superintelligence, and in Reflections (January 2025) that OpenAI is confident it knows how to build AGI as traditionally understood. Both are on his speaker page with the exact words and links.
Where do earnings and keynote quotes come from?
Earnings quotes come from the company's own results release or the CEO's published call remarks; they link to the company on Earnings (earnings.fru.dev). Keynote quotes come from the official transcript and link to the keynote on Keynotes (keynotes.fru.dev).
Something is wrong. How do I report it?
Every quote has Suggest a correction. Corrections are checked against the source; the change is recorded with the old and new wording, and nothing is deleted.
Sources: the primary source linked on each quote, checked weekly. A quote is one moment; read the source. Logos via logo.dev; trademarks belong to their owners.
