This is just wrong. Neoreaction has had a presence on LessWrong since before it existed; back in the days of Overcoming Bias, Moldbug used to comment under the handle "Mencius." Vladimir_M, Aurini, and sam0345 were reactionary LW users who made their last comments in 2012; Dr. Alexander's "Nutshell" essay was posted in March of 2013. Hell, at one point, Multi got so annoyed that he wrote a post called "I've had it with those dark rumours about our culture rigorously suppressing opinions."
Good times.
Good to know! It would be interesting for someone to write an "Intellectual History of LessWrong." I know there was this: http://slatestarcodex.com/2014/03/13/five-years-and-one-week-of-less-wrong/ But, as nice as this summary is, it focuses more on the questions that got solved and the culminating successes, and is less of a balance "history" that follows every trend, fad, and intellectual dead end (not to imply that neoreaction is necessarily a "dead end," but it doesn't make the list in this account).
I'll say. There is nothing about UFAI.
There was a moratorium on discussions about artificial intelligence the first couple months after LW was launched.
