The provided source text is entirely about the Center for Applied Rationality (CFAR), a nonprofit organization founded in 2012 in Berkeley, California. The record being verified concerns Nick Bostrom's role at the Future of Humanity Institute (FHI) from 2005-01 to 2024-04. The source does not mention Nick Bostrom, the Future of Humanity Institute, or any related information. This is a case of wrong source relevance — the source discusses a completely different organization and does not address the claims in the record at all.
