Disputed The exact sentence appears verbatim on the cited LessWrong page, and the page is dated 4th Jun 2026. However, the byline attributes the post to multiple authors—Oliver Sourbut, Josh Jacobson, and Future of Life Foundation (FLF)—rather than to Josh Jacobson alone, so this platform cannot verify it as a single-author Josh Jacobson quote.
