The rationalist community did in fact have to have such conversations about Eliezer over the years, and (IMO) mostly concluded that he actively wants to just sit in a comfortable cave and produce FAI progress with his team, and so he delegates any social authority/power he gains to trusted others, making him a safer weirdo leader figure than most.
Was this conversation held publicly on a non-Eliezer-influenced online forum?
I think there’s a pretty big difference—from accounts I’ve read about Leverage, the “Leverage community” had non-public conversations about Geoff as well, and they concluded he was a great guy.
