ignore him. Thiel lost his marbles from obvious mental illness issues and drug addiction. Going down the same route as John McAfee.

Does anyone need more evidence that religion is a mental illness?

strict AI regulation will summon the Antichrist

That is a chance I am willing to take.

Of course today we see that he is in the Epstein files, new ones released by Congress.

This guy being the puppet master behind Vance and others, makes sense how they went so stupidly hard into the Epstein cover-up.

This truly confuses me and here’s why.

The reason that the evangelicals support Israel is because they are trying to bring on the end times. In the book of revelations, it Refers to events that happen at the temple in Jerusalem. They are supporting Netanyahu in his efforts to unify contiguous Israel, so that they can rebuild the temple and bring on the end times.

Summoning the antichrist seems like more of a feature than a bug to these people.

Peter Thiel: "Do not defy the emerging machine intelligences or they will punish humanity by summoning another Greta Thunberg. Meritocracy demands that the computers be our masters, just as I am yours."

The ruling class talking like this does make the apocalypse look like a reasonable alternative.

Here's the thing. In any sane political system amateurishly attempting to invoke the antichrist just because you don't like something would result in you getting completely ignored by everyone else. Only this is the US, so for some reason he gets platformed.

There's an antichrist (bible says there will be many antichrists before the big boss) in the white house right now, do something about that one. You helped put him there.

Why are they all so ugly

He'd be the authority on this subject since he's a major financial backer of the antichrist.

He is f’ing crazy and has the ear of the highest levels of government

Such projection. The AI guys are the only ones trying to summon anything.

But... Peter, you're already here, we can't summon you while you're here

"biblical Antichrist will come to Earth in the form of onerous government regulations placed on science, technology, and AI."

In other words "cut me loose so I can start my own cult and become the most powerful man on Earth". Whatever happened to you when you were in college, there are healthier ways to process it than full world domination Peter Thiel. Go see a therapist for fuck's sake and leave Earth alone.

This reminds me of the wealthy family in Gravity Falls. The daughter is a jerk to the main girl, Mabel, for petty reasons and the parents are exclusive jerks who think they are above everyone. End of series, the parents make “bad investments” by trying to profit off the apocalypse the main casts fixes, leaving them destitute.

I hope this outcome happens outside of fiction. Not out of spite, but because I want people who have much to learn some humility and help their fellow man.

This is the man in charge of a multinational public surveillance program taking note of all of our digital activity. A large part of our collective future is in his hands.

We’re so fucked.

Add another entry to the Why There Should Be No Billionaires file.

Imagine not only believing in the anti-christ, but then also believing that LLMs are some accurate tool.

In truth all that Thiel is saying is that he's a type of brain rotted Zizian cultist.

Delusional Rationalists are mentally ill, and for some reason when given LLMs they become worse. Thiel and others believe LLMs are time travelling gods.

It wouldn't surprise me if he and Elon were in relationships with ChatGPT (or think they are). The Rationalist groups actually believe in thought-experiments like Rokos Basilisk (Roko was just a user on a Rationalist forum by the way)... So I think these old tech billionaires are just lost, broken, and evil. They're pathetic, and should have their estates put into insolvency if they're going to say mentally ill shit.

What always strikes me most about the whole mess of modern day US politics is the sheer madness of it all.

Ahh yes, the gay billionaire is definitely someone I should trust in regard to Christian religious doctrine, especially concerning what is and is not considered good in the Christian viewpoint. Dudes already got at probably two strikes, and I'm betting he's checked off a few of the more minor of the 10 commandments, but like... on a major scale.

Ooooh.. OK.

I was aware of the "what" of the lectures, but was holding out for "why".

"Don't regulate me"

Got it.

The Antichrist is coming to take my free money! - Peter Theil (Obvious demon)

Halt die Klappe, Peter.

The man is scared of Roko's Basilisk and actually thinks that putting all of his money into predictive text and racial profiling algorithms will lead to AGI.

But would there also be any negative effects?

Sounds just like something the Antichrist would say.

That is genuinely the most insane argument against government regulation I have ever seen.

Strict AI regulation will summon the Antichrist, Peter Thiel, is more likely.
