Look around then? Eliezer has even made a Reddit thread for things like that where the basilisk is freely discussed.
I’m not active on reddit. Most forums have a link to the rules right next to the comment box; this one does not. There clearly is a chilling effect going on, because I’ve seen posts that make carefully oblique references to memetic hazards rather than just saying “don’t post the basilisk in the comments please”.
Yeah, and people here know who Eliezer Yudkowsky is and who is part of MIRI which is LW’s parent organization
I have no idea who’s part of MIRI and which posts are or aren’t from MIRI, because we don’t do the equivalent of (YC 09) on stories here. (And HN was explicitly the worst other example I know; they could certainly stand to improve their transparency a lot).
