Is he talking about himself?

flamingo_pinyata@sopuli.xyz on 28 Sep 17:51 next collapse

He’s more of a “High Priest of Antichrist” type. He’d fit perfectly as a season villain in Buffy.

dyathinkhesaurus@lemmy.world on 28 Sep 18:11 collapse

He’s an Accelerationist. He wants this to happen.

FarceOfWill@infosec.pub on 28 Sep 20:50 collapse

Yeah idgi. He’s trying to convince the Christian right to regulate ai or something right?

MysticKetchup@lemmy.world on 28 Sep 17:04 next collapse

He has previously suggested that Greta Thunberg could be the Antichrist, but her name is not thought to have come up at the talks so far.

So the billionaire building autonomous weapons and spying technology used for genocide who also injects the blood of young men to rejuvenate himself is here to warn us about the dangers of young climate activist trying to deliver food to starving Palestinians?

It’s sad that we’re at a point where people will actually listen to him and think he is anything other than a terrible person

bigfondue@lemmy.world on 28 Sep 18:33 collapse

His origin story is too on the nose for a movie. Like a rich, gay, foreigner who grew up on an Apartheid uranium mine?!

chisel@piefed.social on 29 Sep 03:13 next collapse

Are we talking about Thiel or Elon?

AceFuzzLord@lemmy.zip on 29 Sep 08:36 collapse

Pretty sure Elon was emeralds instead of uranium. Probably blood emeralds, but emeralds all the same.

echodot@feddit.uk on 30 Sep 14:04 collapse

Him having grown up on a uranium mine actually explains an awful lot about him. Probably some mutated lizard person.

Only a lot worse cause he is real and there are no superheroes to fight him.

Can we stop the “statement, said someone” headline? Just flip it around like a normal person

dyathinkhesaurus@lemmy.world on 28 Sep 18:09 collapse

People would stop reading at “Peter Thiel says”, “Elon Musk says”, “Donald Trump says”, there’s a better chance of a click if they do it this way.

LodeMike@lemmy.today on 28 Sep 18:14 next collapse

Yes that’s why I want them to stop.

Unfortunately it’s just reality.

Maybe we are living in a simulated universe inside the Onion.

Can we tax rich people instead of listening to them say stupid shit?

Ste41th@lemmy.ml on 28 Sep 19:39 next collapse

Hold on let me ask the rich politicians to see if they want to tax their buddy’s more and whilst they are at it pay extra tax themself.

itztalal@lemmings.world on 29 Sep 08:29 collapse

Yeah, can we stop being collective idiots and nominating the enemy because we’re afraid of the enemy?

How stupid are we? Especially when we lose and do the same thing again?

Zwuzelmaus@feddit.org on 28 Sep 21:20 collapse

Oh, yes, please, he should live in Russia and say annoying sh*t to their prez for one time too often… I have heard their tax is slightly above 100% then :-)

*rapist and child molester Peter Thiel

calliope@retrolemmy.com on 28 Sep 21:08 collapse

He’s been told his entire life he’s better than everyone else, it’s no wonder he convinces others.

He spent part of his youth benefiting from apartheid and being a German kid in an African town that literally glorified Nazism until the 1980s.

He got all of the $100,000 he first lost in bad investments from family and friends.

Celebrity billionaires, they’re just like us… lmao

Gil Duran has written a good analysis of Peter Thiel’s obsession with the Antichrist: newrepublic.com/…/peter-thiel-obsession-antichris… .

To put it simply this is one vary influential and dangerous lunatic.

Why wouldn’t Peter Thiel want himself hastened?

Sounds like something a pedophile would say.

Me just reading the title:

Oh nice, are we finally calling Trump the antichrist? Fantastic!

(Although, in that case deregulating AI would hasten him.)

Fuck this fucking pedo fucker.

aesthelete@lemmy.world on 29 Sep 06:15 next collapse

There was a time where making a public statement this deranged would mean that nobody would ever consider you a serious person ever again.

itztalal@lemmings.world on 29 Sep 08:27 next collapse

When? Religious people have always been morons.

There was a small period 15-20 years ago on the internet where religious bullshit was always laughed out of the room, but then technology improved and more religious dipshits were able to get online and support each other.

Used to be that every village had its idiot. The Internet gave the idiots their own village.

Nah. Used to be that every village hat its smart dude that got laughed at when they were going against the grain. The Internet gave those smart dudes their own village. But now the rest of the village is joining.

If you wear the right kind of hat it’s literally impossible to say anything stupid enough to be put away.

iAvicenna@lemmy.world on 29 Sep 07:42 next collapse

Sometimes it blows my mind how naive some people have to be to buy into this shit. Almost everyone who speaks of their war against their self described Antichrist is acting like one in major ways. This guy literally conflicts himself by the minute, first calls government control as antichrist and scapegoating as a very dangerous social dynamic and then signs surveillance deals with Trump so that he can blame the immigrants and poor people for USA’s problems. For fucks sake, you don’t even need the subtly misleading evil anymore, anything goes.

Perhaps it is not naiveness but more like the pleasure of having a powerful billionaire regurgitate a century long propaganda embedded in the centre of your life philosophy back at you, the comfort of being affirmed by someone “deemed successful” and not having to face the many contradictions of the stories in your head.

At this point everyone who has provided material support to project 2025 is a traitor. They should all be tried and jailed. Also, prevented from ever the having authority over other human beings for the rest of their miserable lives.

Yeah, I’m already sold on the idea of regulation, but I’m fine with this bonus as well. Been free of this dogmatic idiot would be great.

Also, makes me think of the movie Eagle Eye and that wild hard-chasing Predator drone loaded with Hellfire missiles.

I had a dream last night that people were gathered under a new pseudo-religion based around the Butlerian Jihad from the Dune books, with a specific focus on the main commandment of “thou shalt not make a machine in likeness of the human mind” and went on a sort of crusade to destroy all LLMs.
