When I visited MIRI’s headquarters, they were trying to set up a video link to the Future of Humanity Institute. Somebody had put up a monitor in a prominent place and there was a sticky note saying something like “Connects to FHI—do not touch”.
Except that the H was kind of sloppy and bent upward so it looked like an A.
I’m guessing Eliezer has one of those, probably locked away behind a triply-locked vault in the basement of MIRI.
See, it’s comments like these that are one of the reasons people think LW is a cult.
Does MIRI actually has a basement?
It’s behind the hidden door. Full of boxes which say “AI inside—DO NOT TALK TO IT”.
The ghosts there are not really dangerous. Usually.

I was really careful not to touch that monitor.
