The source text explicitly confirms that Eliezer Yudkowsky founded MIRI in 2000, matching the startDate of 2000-01 in the record. The source also confirms his role as a founder. While the source does not explicitly state his current title as 'Senior Researcher', it does confirm the founding role and the 2000 founding date. The organization name (MIRI) and person name are correctly identified.
