This is the most ludicrous slander I have ever read. I also have no idea what the point is supposed to be. It’s not funny, it’s not remotely believable, it doesn’t seem to be making any kind of larger point, and it looks like a really slapdash job anyway. I can’t figure out why anyone would bother making this.
Edit: Whoops, I didn’t read to the end. Apparently this is an attempt at blackmail. I still don’t see what the point is, though, since MIRI will hardly stop fundraising just to prevent this obviously fabricated “leak”. Maybe the creator of the page is hoping that rationalists will conclude that there is some truth to the accusations on the basis that they wouldn’t bother to blackmail MIRI with them if they were false? But if that was the goal, you’d think they could come up with more plausible or creative accusations.

It’s poorly written too, like some grade school gag. If it’s meant to be taken seriously, it is pretty amateurish...
