Does MIRI actually has a basement?

It's behind the hidden door. Full of boxes which say "AI inside -- DO NOT TALK TO IT".

The ghosts there are not really dangerous. Usually.

When I visited MIRI's headquarters, they were trying to set up a video link to the Future of Humanity Institute. Somebody had put up a monitor in a prominent place and there was a sticky note saying something like "Connects to FHI - do not touch".

Except that the H was kind of sloppy and bent upward so it looked like an A.

I was really careful not to touch that monitor.
