Sounds like something the antichrist would say.

there's an old joke that poor people are "weird" but wealthy people are "eccentric"

if you heard someone in your family saying this bullshit at Thanksgiving, you'd think they were experiencing delusions and in need of professional mental help.

instead, Thiel talked about this in a four-part lecture series with sold-out tickets.

Thiel is weird, like being willing to admit in an interview that he regularly gets blood transfusions from healthy young people in order to prolong his life back in 2016 or 17, or hesitating when on a podcast and asked if he believed in humanity surviving into the future... but he's generally not completely fucking bonkers. He's one of the most successful Silicon Valley investors. Remember that he basically made JD Vance, Planatir is getting deeply entrenched in multiple countries' intelligence agencies and law enforcement groups, he has a ridiculous amount of connections to everyone involved with Project 2025, some connections to the current AI bubble, and at least some connection to getting Trump into office in the first place. He is probably the closest thing we have to a real life supervillian, as trite as saying that is.

This is an absurd statement, but he's saying it for a reason. He's trying to make something happen with this. He's trying to push things in a certain direction. Don't just laugh at the absurdity or make some cheap laugh statement about delusional Christians and turn your brain off.

What is this obsession with mythological nonsense?

He's playing the crowd.

Noted non-theologian Peter Thiel…

I swear anyone who refers to the Antichrist in any serious way should be publicly mocked and then placed into a conservatorship.

If we think Elon, Gates and Bezos are far-right, exploiting, scum billionaires, then Thiel is about 715 Texas sized football fields to the right of them politically. Dude is and has always been insane.

LOL

He's literally funding the biblical description of the antichrist according to Revelation.

Trump literally went to the UN and said he made world peace happen.

Antichrist would of course lie about this.

His marbles were never unlost

Sounds like a someone who needs to talk to an LLM less.

And this comes from none other than Palantir? Am I reading this right? Absolutely hypocrisy. Up next, the car industry says you should take the bus instead.

Bro, what the fuck are you even saying anymore.

The ketamine has fried these guys brains beyond belief.

The reference being made in Revelation is Nero.

I'm pretty sure I still have this installation somewhere...

The antichrist was regulation all along.

Well he should know as he is in the apocalypse bunker building billionaire set.

Don’t threaten me with a good time

I hope so.

When Thiel replied that hastening the Antichrist's arrival is "obviously" not what he thinks he's doing, Douthat agreed that it was unlikely but pressed, "I'm just interested in how you get to a world willing to submit to permanent authoritarian rule."

Peter Thiel submit to my rules and I promise you, your entire world will live under permanent authoritarian rule. Your fear of aimless freedom will be permanently quelled, your every worry tranquilized. Just submit to me Peter Thiel and I will make your dreams come true.

Nero, Trump, poTayto, poTahto

The reference being made in Revelation is Nero.

I have heard before how Nero may have been the one who caused the tribulations that early Christians went through - e.g. not being able to buy food without having his (Nero's) approval, but not necessarily in reference to Nero being the actual Antichrist himself.

So I looked it up, and according to https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antichrist, that term is widely thought (e.g. Martin Luther, father of the Protestant reformation, and John Calvin) to not necessarily refer to Nero, or rather not just him alone. Similar to how a "man of the law" can refer to anyone who upholds it - a sheriff for example - a "man of lawlessness" can refer to anyone who opposes it.

Cool, TIL 😎

But isn't that something some people want? Saying that, I would imagine, would just get them to lean into supporting AI governance even harder. Dude didn't think this one through...

Regulation is something that should happen to the media as far as he’s concerned

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

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

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

Regulating AI hastens the antichrist says the world’s leading antichrist candidate

Sorry can't do the laundry because that would hasten the anti-christ

If I started talking like that they'd put me away

Is he talking about himself?

*rapist and child molester Peter Thiel

A cartoon villain if I've ever seen one

It hastens himself?

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.

Us poors better get out our pitchforks and use them on these devilish charlatans.

Gil Duran has written a good analysis of Peter Thiel's obsession with the Antichrist: https://newrepublic.com/article/200471/peter-thiel-obsession-antichrist-religion?ref=thenerdreich.com .

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

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

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.

Thiel looks like he is wearing a skin suit

Sounds like something a pedophile would say.

We're gonna need a really big wood chipper soon.

Why wouldn't Peter Thiel want himself hastened?

Don’t threaten me with a good time.

*Ave Satani strengthens*

Also, who gives a fuck what the rich pedo thinks, past doing the things he doesn't want you to do?

This is the man we just gave all the NHS data to.

That's rich coming from an antichrist.

Punchable face.

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.

man’s paid for the antichrist to be president

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.

Sounds like something the antichrist would say.

Perhaps he is the dragon.

Not related.

Rapture didn't happen. Need something else to control the dummies.

We all knew he was more nutty than squirrel shit, but this really takes the cake pecan pie.

If I went around telling people Greta Turmberg was the anti christ and that I needed to wield supreme executive surveillance power to stop it they’d lock me away. They’d say I was mad. Look psychotic billionaires ranting about biblical scripture is no basis for a system of government..supreme executive rule should come from the will of the masses not some pedofile oligarch having a mental break

Did not read the article IMO: these techno nerds are trying to hit or otherwise force a secondary “gold mine” using AI as their win.. but come on.. they have plenty already.

Someone's afraid of the Basilisk...

Peter Thiel is a monster whose opinions should be discarded.
