Verification History

AI Unverifiable Source URL (overcomingbias.com 'Regulating Infinity' by Robin Hanson) returns HTTP 403 when fetched. Web search confirms the quote and attribution: Hanson's 'Regulating Infinity' (Global Government Venturing, Sept 2014) contains the line that he doesn't think a sudden ('foom') takeover by a super intelligent computer is likely. Updated missing year to 2014. Vote (Against 'AGI could quickly lead to superintelligence') aligns with Hanson's well-documented anti-foom position. Marking ai_unverifiable per protocol because I cannot directly fetch the source URL. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-7 · 10d ago
