We need to stop listening to this guy and tax him. He is not smart. Most of his fortune is directly tied to extremely lucky bets on Facebook and PayPal. Palantir is a boring government contractor that makes glorified ERP software. And he has really, really dumb opinions.

  Just like the rest of the other "thought-leaders" everyone else listens to on this orange site as they do not care if they are wrong.

  He is not smart True. Personally, I think my first clue was when he gave millions of dollars to people who want to round up LGBTQ folks like himself and load them into boxcars. Just another "high-agency" bozo who confused getting lucky with being smart.

Better to hear from him directly than filtered, so worth watching the interview with the NYT's Ross Douthat, in which Thiel frames what he means by the Antichrist. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vV7YgnPUxcU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vV7YgnPUxcU Without spoiling too much, it is related to civilizational stagnation, and that our lack of progress risks catastrophic outcomes.

  Ross Douthat is author of ''The Decadent Society: How We Became the Victims of Our Own Success'', which, when read along with ''Amusing Ourselves To Death'' by Neil Postman, might put a lump in your throat in the face of today's rampantly compulsive tech broligarchs and their enshittification of society.

    Palantir turning into a movie villain caricature on the internet through breathless journalism is a great example of "Amusing Ourselves To Death". Journalists turned it into a great story that sounds straight out of a thriller TV show. But trying to spin unchecked growth in government power, a lack of accountability, and mindless consumerism as some sort of side effect of the new cabal of tech-bro elites rather than a persistent drumbeat that existed well before that is an unhelpful distraction that only makes people feel helpless. Nobody sells books by saying that our issues are a result of general neglect by society as a whole, only movie villains push numbers.

      I would agree with you if it weren't proven fact that Thiel is a kingmaker - he created the current JD Vance turning him from being Anti-Trump ("I believe he is a bad man") to vice president with a Girardian mission in just 8 years. He is a demagogue and dangerous.

  One world eco-fascist government to be precise. All that green energy is why we are stagnating and haven't cured Alzheimer. Hence Thunberg as the antichrist. He's building Palantir to get control over more antichrist movement and hopes to stop it.

By Antichrist he means “a little girl asking us to please not ruin the world for future generations.” Really.

"We're all trying to find the guy who did this!!" If you're worried about someone coming to your party, perhaps start with not sending them a gold-leafed invitation. I presume all of Thiel's noise about the antichrist is a play at trying to maintain some support for techno-fascism from the religious fundamentalists after they're done satiating themselves with the recent Crusades. The reality is of course that the closest thing we have to an antichrist figure is sitting in the White House, having charmed millions with his blatantly false promises.

  I'm an atheist, and I don't believe in the antichrist, but it's hard not to see how closely he fits the bill. Only lies come out when he opens his mouth. Even if he says something true, he basically qualifies it with another untruth, and people lap it up. Even the media, even the cynical media, seem to report the things he says at face value. It boggles the mind sometimes. Last week someone challenged him on his claim that Iran had tomahawks and they bombed their own school. First time I've heard anyone directly challenge him. His response was "I don't know enough about it" classic bs packpedal, like any kid caught in a lie. Next day CNN stories were "trump doesn't know what's happening in the war, others are running it and he's unaware", completely missing the obvious truth, he lied to misdirect people on the school bombing, one person challenged it, he lied again to backpedal. Some days it's like he has a supernatural ability to get away with lies
  - mindslight 7mo ago
    I'm an atheist too, but I still see religions as having embedded wisdom - both descriptive of how past societies failed, and prescriptive in that they are parts of the foundations of our present societies. (Of course they also have a lot of details that are easy to latch onto as mere justifications for doing immoral things. And as moral people move on from traditional religion, then the share of people merely using it as crutch for immorality grows) The archetype of a leader who engages in abjectly evil behavior while gathering ever more power and followers under a charm spell certainly rings true. But the dynamic is probably more like an individual being particularly adept at releasing the floodgates for our own worst impulses, rather than some supernatural power.

Behind the Bastards did a few episodes on this: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/105-behind-the-bastards-29236323/episode/part-one-peter-thiel-and-the-anti-christ-304710630 https://www.iheart.com/podcast/105-behind-the-bastards-29236... and they were quite entertaining.

  The topic is interesting to me so I gave it a go, but by God this podcast (quite popular I hear) is insufferable. Why is everyone trying to be a comedian? Why does one of the guest sound like they’re on Valium? And I cannot stand the air of basic anti-intellectualism I keep getting from American presenters, where any piece of information is met with a groan and a joke. I reckon not every podcast can be as excellent as The Rest Is History, for example. I’m waiting for some coverage on the pillock from this side of the pond.

If we scratch out the Christian folklore and metaphors, god it's the Logos, the source of knowledge, the pure logic, verified facts through reason. Kinda like programming in Lisp. Sins are just a metaphor on human (animal) impulsiveness due to faulty instinct; the Church just said 'think before you act, you might screw up greatly'. LLM's are like loaded dice in nature, thus, the output will never be reproducible but pretty much close enough in the 99% of caases, like a Markov based chatbot on stereoids (small LLM's and a GB trained Hailo will mainly converge in how to behave internally). LLM based products are actually much closer to the Christian 'devil' -human prejudices causing bad acts, instead of slow analysis with reproducible proofs- than anything else. Because over time the accuracy gap without human revision will just get bigger and bigger upon feeding LLM's between themselves.
