I came across the EY references while browsing, but can't find them again. 1900 pages!

I'm intrigued to find that there's a PDF viewer without a search function. :)

It is humorous in spots:

consider a scenario in which a Luddite with a 99 IQ bombs the computer facility. Now, I could be wrong, but I don’t think that this is what Yudkowsky had in mind when he used the phrase “intelligence explosion”.

Oh, the Mac OS X "Preview" has search, but it didn't seem to work on documents this long. However, my revised hypothesis is that I didn't know how to spell Yudkowsky.
