If any users do submit a set of launch codes, tomorrow I’ll publish their identifying details.
If we make it through this, here are some ideas to make it more realistic next year:
1) Anonymous codes.
2) Karma bounty for the first person to press the button.
1+2) Randomly and publicly give some people the same code as each other, and give a karma bounty to everyone who had the code that took down the site.
3) Anyone with button rights can share button rights with anyone, and a karma bounty for sharing with the most other people that only pays out if nobody presses the button.
Or, if we want to go all max-Schelling at the risk of veering almost into Stalinism, tell people they’ll get a karma bounty for pressing it but then coordinate with LW, CFAR, MIRI, and various meetups to ban that person for life from everything if the actually do it. 😂
3 seems like an incentive to create sockpuppets. (It might make more sense to combine “Button rights” and “codes”.) Making limitations, for example, based on age of accounts moves the incentive from “create sockpuppets”, to “have created sockpuppets”.
