There is a rare personality trait which allows a person to read and respond to hundreds of critical comments without compromising their perspicacity and composure. Luke, for instance, has demonstrated this trait; Eliezer hasn’t (to the detriment of this discussion and some prior ones).
There is another personality trait (or skill) that allows one to be comfortable with acknowledging areas of weakness and delegating to people more capable. Fortunately Eliezer was able to do this with respect to managing SIAI. He seems to have lost some of that capability or awareness in recent times.
Quite possibly. I’d still oppose putting you in charge of the website.
Irrelevant and unnecessary. Particularly since I happen to have the self awareness in question, know that becoming Luke would be exhausting to me and so would immediately hand off the responsibility. What I wouldn’t do is go about acting how I naturally wish to act and be unable to comprehend why my actions have the consequences that they inevitably have.

Why are you smiling? This makes your remark all the more objectionable (in as much as it indicates either wit or rapport, neither of which are present.)
