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

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