Source details and check notes Authors Eliezer Yudkowsky Version Arbital (GreaterWrong viewer), retrieved 2026-10-06 (SHA-256 8a5f55b91714900b0d9c2edd75782888533dab34f231c6c9619cd95cdb2d0b36). Viewer shows "16 Jul 2015", probably the creation date; the body says "As of 2016" and uses later terminology, so at least part of the cached wording postdates 2015. Canonical address Open the canonical source ↗ Accessed 2026-10-06 Language English (en) Attribution Eliezer Yudkowsky, “Instrumental convergence”, Arbital (GreaterWrong viewer), 2015-07-16. Reuse No open redistribution licence asserted. Bibliographic metadata, editorial paraphrases and short attributed quotations (at most 50 words each). Recheck terms before wider redistribution. Check notes Passage and locator as inspected by a reviewer from a different model family on 2026-10-27 in a direct retrieval of the mirror page; the preparer’s retrieval of 2026-10-27 had failed, so the check’s reading replaces a restatement of the source record’s author list. The displayed credit does not establish sole authorship of every revision. Human editorial review is pending. Status and meaning Editorial status. Not reviewed by an editor . An exploratory record that no editor has accepted. This status does not say whether a person has read any linked passage. Each evidence record above shows how it was checked.
Relation. Authorship as credited in the document. Does not imply sole authorship.
Date. Date the source record gives for this text; authorship is credited in the inspected expression.
