Can we not have corporate advertising on LW? Alternately, I'd be okay with it if, for example, Quixey told their employees to devote 10% of their time to writing high-quality posts on LW.
I think Q founders do in fact support SIAI financially.
In particular, if I understand the way the Challenge is set up correctly, LW gets 50$ for everybody from LW who wins. (Since the referrer for anybody who comes via this link is listed as Less Wrong, and Quixley states that the referrer of a winner gets $50.)
Liron, can you confirm whether this is indeed the case?
QC rules state a limit of one $50 prize per referer account, so the lesswrong account made $50 :)
Yep.
I've supported SIAI financially as well (via User:Kevin). May I advertise paperclip production here in top-level discussion posts, and have them promoted and their downvotes erased?
Are you looking to hire for positions that would be a good fit for Less Wrong members (with other relevant skills)? If so, I would be happy for you to use Less Wrong for recruitment.
