Archive copy: Open archived copy, captured 2023-09-25: The Long-Term Benefit Trust. Captured 6 days after the recorded publication date. An archive copy shows only what the archive retrieved on 2023-09-25. It does not prove what the page said earlier, and it can differ from the copy checked on 2026-10-04.
Attribution: Anthropic, The Long-Term Benefit Trust (19 September 2023).
Reuse: No open redistribution licence asserted. Selekoa practice: metadata, attributed paraphrases and short attributed quotations under the editorial policy (at most 50 words each; at most 400 quoted words per document across the dataset, and about 10% of a document under about 2,000 words). Documents are linked externally, not redistributed. Publisher terms that forbid quotation override this practice.
Check notes: Added on 2026-11-02 by the maintainer’s decision on the pre-launch audit (PA-50), like the snapshots of the other four initial Trustees. The paraphrase’s verbatim anchor “Founder of the Alignment Research Center” matched the publisher’s page retrieved directly on 2026-11-02, in the list “The initial Trustees are:”. The paraphrase is Selekoa’s; only the anchor is the source’s wording.
