Eliezer Yudkowsky — Education: Self-taught; no formal university education

NoteThe Wikipedia source directly confirms the claim. The 'Personal life' section explicitly states: 'Yudkowsky is an autodidact and did not attend high school or college.' This confirms both the self-taught/autodidact aspect and the lack of formal university education. However, the source does not specifically mention dropping out at age 12 or explicitly state he taught himself AI and mathematics—those details from the additional context are not addressed in the provided excerpt. The core claim about self-education and no formal university education is directly confirmed.
