Most people visiting Lighthaven are attending a specific event (e.g. MATS, Progress Conference, Vitalist Bay, etc) and expect that the event runner has chosen the people there. There are some people who primarily know it for Lightcone events (e.g. LessOnline, Inkhaven) who might think it, there are some people who have never heard of LessWrong and are there for a specific event (e.g. wedding guests, various research conferences, etc) who would definitely not think it.
It’s also importantly the case that I don’t respect either guilt-by-association nor trust-by-association as a way of relating to people and their relationships, and won’t avoid business relationships even if a bunch of people are foolishly assuming we do that kind of thing.
