Further: If you search for “lesswrong roko basilisk” the top result is the RationalWiki article (at least, for me on Google right now) and nowhere on the first page is there anything with any input from Eliezer or (so far as such a thing exists) the LW community.
There should be a clear, matter-of-fact article on (let’s say) the LessWrong wiki, preferably authored by Eliezer (but also preferably taking something more like the tone Ilya proposes than most of Eliezer’s comments on the issue) to which people curious about the affair can be pointed.
(Why haven’t I made one, if I think this? Because I suspect opinions on this point are strongly divided and it would be sad for there to be such an article but for its history to be full of deletions and reversions and infighting. I think that would be less likely to happen if the page were made by someone of high LW-status who’s generally been on Team Shut Up About The Basilisk Already.)
Yes.
