Mod note: I often don’t let new users with this sort of question through because these sort of questions tend to be kinda cursed. But, honestly I don’t think we have a good canonical answer post to this and I wanted to take the opportunity to spur someone to write one.
I think my actual answer is “realistically, you probably haven’t found something dangerous other to justify the time cost of running it by someone, but I feel dissatisfied with that state of affairs.”
Maybe someone should write an LLM-bot that tells you if your maybe-infohazardous idea is making one of the standard philosophical errors.

I personally think people should mostly worry less about acausal extortion, but this question isn’t quite about that.
