I had no choice but to create a bot. Here's Secretly Public Domain
Following the demise of botsin.space (cf https://muffinlabs.com/posts/2024/10/29/10-29-rip-botsin-space/), the author evidently has the bot now posting to https://mas.to/@SecretlyPublicDomain instead.

In Hints and Principles for Computer System Design, 2020, Lampson describes his original 1983 paper (https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/800217.806614) as being "[r]eprinted with some changes in IEEE Software".

I referred (indirectly) to this in an annotation on https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/1945/07/as-we-may-think/303881/ as "the PDF". As the first page indicates this is rather a PDF—specifically someone's PDF of the ACM's reprint from 1996 (which can be found hanging off this DOI: https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/227181.227186).
The Atlantic's PDF can be found here https://cdn.theatlantic.com/media/archives/1945/07/176-1/132407932.pdf (at least for now).

This foreword is described in the book as being "written as an article in 1997". There's a brief introduction (8 paragraphs dated December 2002), and then what follows is purportedly that same article, which begins, "The Web was designed to be a universal space of information[...]". The acknowledgements of the foreword, too, says that it "is based on a talk presented at the W3C meeting, London, December 3, 1997".
The same material, including acknowledgement, but sans the 8-paragraph introduction, is available on a webpage titled "Realising the Full Potential of the Web" on the W3C site. https://www.w3.org/1998/02/Potential.html

I'm having trouble determining the source of this purported error. This PDF appears to have copied the content from the version published on kurzweilai.net, which includes the same "erratum". Meanwhile, however, this document which looks like it could plausibly be a scan of the original contains no such error: https://documents.theblackvault.com/documents/dod/readingroom/16a/977.pdf
I wonder if someone transcribed the memo with this "amd" error and that copy was widely distributed (e.g. during the BBS era?) and then someone came across that copy and inserted the "[sic]" adornments.
This is an unfinished form of the paper that's available (without broken inline images) here:
