(While LessWrong.com was historically run by MIRI, the new LessWrong is indeed for most intents and purposes an independent organization (while legally under the umbrella of CFAR) and we are currently filing documents to get our own 501c3 registered, and are planning to stick around as an organization for at least another 5 years or so. Since we don’t yet have a name that is different from “LessWrong”, it’s easy to get confused about whether we are an actual independent organization, and I figured I would comment to clarify that.)
