Peter Thiel: The pope is ‘working for the Chinese Communists’ by criticizing AI | CNN

Speaking at the Aspen Ideas Festival, the billionaire tech investor said the Vatican’s concerns could discourage America in the AI arms race, warned of a democratic-socialist takeover and explained why he named Palantir after JRR Tolkien’s treacherous seeing stones.

    Thiel has argued that the Antichrist could manifest not as an individual but as a world government that seizes power by promising to protect humanity against existential threats such as AI or global warming.

    so nothing like Palantir and its weird cabal of freaks at all wonder-who-thats-for

      This dumb guy also said the antichrist could be Greta. He’s wildly speculating based on his own paranoid delusions

    a pope spying and subverting the west for a one world government lead by communist china might be enough to make me take communion.

      I wouldn’t worry about that, the Vatican to this day is still pretending that PRC is not even a country.

    He delivered his remarks at a nonrecorded panel alongside the political scientist Francis Fukuyama.

    Thiel and Fukuyama’s discussion, entitled “Humanity at the End of History,” marked a notable departure from the last time the pair debated 14 years ago.

    So what happens if we put Thiel in a barrel of salt? He’s the wettest dude. We need to dry him out.

    How the hell do people fall for this obvious bullshit though? Like surely someone steps back and thinks, “Oh hey, these things we’re being told about China is clearly absurd” ?

    I don’t mean this in a body shaming way but what are these rich white guys doing to make their heads change like that. It’s like a new skull is trying to be born from within the existing one.

      Growth hormone. It’s part of their hormone stack. It causes bone growth.

        It isn’t. Bone growth isn’t a side effect of cocaine.
