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.

    I’m wondering what the audience reaction to this claim was cause I would’ve started laughing like a maniac.

    I rarely find myself aligned with the churches backwards ways but…

    I feel like a good burning at the stake might do us all a bit of good here.

    Should’ve worked for the Vietnamese Communists instead, then there wouldn’t be a problem. /j

      Never trust a billionaire, but he’s a special sort of evil. He just wants his own power.

    Are the Chinese Communist working for the Antichrist?

    Is this guy literally running around just telling absolutely anyone that will listen absolutely whatever they want to hear?

      He can find young men to sell him their blood, but he hasn’t found one who will sell him his face yet, but he’s working on it. If you’re a handsome guy, you really don’t want to give that up.

    No one’s laughed in this man’s face and asked him if he was high for a long time, huh.

      Well, I think his underlings know he’s high but they probably know better than to point it out

    Would you like to know more about this monster?

    Behind the Bastards did a four-parter (the Gravedigger of Democracy series, on YouTube)
    Part One
    Part Two
    Part Three
    Part Four

    BTB did another two-parter series Peter Thiel and the Antichrist which I haven’t listened to yet, but I assume is about Thiel’s recent speaking tour talking about how we’re now in the end of days.

    This sounds like something Grok would say.

    Is this guy maybe just a meat puppet for an LLM? Has it begun?

      We’d certainly all be better off if we had governments like China’s.
