Source details and check notes

Authors: Eliezer S. Yudkowsky
Version: Version 1.2.1, "Updated: 08/31/2000", in the raw Internet Archive capture of 2000-12-04; retrieved 2026-10-06 with the hash recorded by the 1996–2022 candidate search. Personal website, sysopmind.com.
Version date: 2000-08-31
Canonical address: Open the canonical source ↗
Accessed: 2026-10-06
Language: English (en)
Archive copy: Open archived copy, captured 2000-12-04: Staring into the Singularity (version 1.2.1). Captured 95 days after the recorded version date. An archive copy shows only what the archive retrieved on 2000-12-04. It does not prove what the page said earlier, and it can differ from the copy checked on 2026-10-06.
Attribution: Eliezer S. Yudkowsky, "Staring into the Singularity", version 1.2.1 (2000).
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 the Internet Archive capture of 2000-12-04; 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 credit is verified for the updated page of 2000, not for the 1996 wording. Human editorial review is pending.
