At one point I thought I recalled reading about a series of purported experiments by one person. Sadly, I couldn’t find it then and I don’t intend to try tonight. According to my extremely fallible memory:
The Gatekeeper players likely all came from outside the LW community, assuming the AI/blogger didn’t make it all up.
The fundamentalist Christian woman refused to let the AI out or even discuss the matter past a certain point, saying that Artificial Intelligence (ETA: as a field of endeavor) was immoral. Everyone else let the AI out.
The blogger tried to play various different types of AIs, including totally honest ones and possibly some that s/he considered dumber-than-human. The UnFriendly ones got out more quickly on average.
