The Rotman page dated Friday, September 1, 2023 contains the exact sentence "What is the point of a six-month moratorium? To me, that letter is a piece of hysteria." and labels it directly as spoken by "Pedro Domingos," so the stored author, date, source URL, and quote text all match the source.

A reliable Fall 2023 transcript reproduction attributes a similar statement to Pedro Domingos, but the submitted text is not verbatim. The source has him saying he doesn’t think AI is moving too fast and calls the letter "a piece of hysteria," but it does not attribute the claimed sentence about there not being an "out-of-control race" to him, and several other phrases differ materially. This is therefore an altered/paraphrased composite rather than an exact quote.
