Comment on Peter Thiel Antichrist lecture: We asked guests what the hell it is

Thiel’s Antichrist scenario is one in which a unified government suppresses technology to impose order, or armageddon, wherein AI takes over and ushers in the end of the world.

Another attendee said the talk revealed a less well-known, more scholarly side of Thiel.

Scholarly, lol. What is it that makes people think that billionaires are more intelligent than they really are, while those billionaires are actually going off the deep end?

Isn’t the first part what’s going on in the US? I assume the AI part isn’t part of the government here.

Also isn’t Vance funded by Theil?

Now comic books are kinda out of date, they used to assume you couldn’t be that evil and say you are while no one stops you from your plan while you talk about it non stop.

  I don’t have an answer for your first two questions, but I hear you on your comic book take.
