I think we can all agree that for better or for worse this stuff already entered the public arena. I mean Slate magazine is as mainstream as you can get and that article was pretty brutal in the attempt to convince people in the viability of the idea.

I wouldn't be surprised if "The Basilliks" the movie is already in the works ;-) . (I hope that its get directed by Uwe Boll..hehe)

In light of this developments I think it is time to end the formal censorship and focus on the best way how we can inform general public that entire thing was a stupid overreaction and clear LW name from any slander.

There are real issues in AI safety and this is an unnecessary distraction.
