I just tried to make you a new draft with the LaTex fixed. Unfortunately (a) ~20% of it didn’t quite work, and (b) now that it’s saved it has the same ‘refresh to render LaTex’ error people in other comments had.
Alas, it looked so delightful in my editor! The dev team should get to this in the next week (a few frontpage changes are top priority right now, but if it’s a quick fix we’ll jump to it).
P.S. As a rule, once you enter something in our editor and then hit spacebar, you will see the final copy—it’s very much a ‘What you see is what you get’, and LaTex should look like LaTex as you edit.
There was a LaTeX error that was highlighted in bright yellow in the post (it said “wrong instance of ’&’ “). Right now the way we render LaTeX, any LaTeX error will cause all LaTeX in a comment to fail to render, which I think I can improve, but might be a bit of work.
The draft now has proper formatting and should work. Let me know if there are any problems.
Does latex work in posts? I wrote up a draft post and I’m pretty sure that I used the correct syntax, but I don’t see the formulas being formatted.
Maybe it does not work unless the post is fully submitted instead of just a draft? I didn’t want to submit the post just to test that out though.

Thanks Oliver and Ben!
I believe it is working now; I posted it here: https://www.lesserwrong.com/posts/tW37uofzXd7ngW8Np/big-advance-in-infinite-ethics
Pretty sure it should work regardless of draft-nature. Oliver should be awake in ~9 hours to reply.
