(Bostrom and Shulman both work for FHI, and Bostrom doesn’t work for MIRI. I’m not sure how mainstream the International Journal of Machine Consciousness is. ETA: It was one of the original journals Luke mentioned as targets, so I assume it qualifies.)
MIRI also has a larger number of CS conference papers, which this claims are higher status in CS than journal publications; Luke was presumably biased towards journals because he had less of a background in CS.
Over two years ago, lukeprog made this post. After that time, has MIRI gotten any closer to publishing in mainstream journals?
See here.
MIRI’s journal publications:

That was a pleasant surprise. Thank you very much!
“Weird obscure niche” is my impression, though I could be wrong about that.
Also see this post, posted a month later and stating that he’d “recently updated hugely toward SIAI not publishing in mainstream journals.”
