Peter Thiel: strict AI regulation will summon the Antichrist
**This is a real thing Peter Thiel told a group of tech professionals recently.**
In a four-part series of religious lectures in San Francisco, Peter Thiel — yes, that Peter Thiel — has argued that the End Times are nigh and that a biblical Antichrist — yes, that Antichrist — will come to Earth in the form of onerous government regulations placed on science, technology, and AI.
These are, incidentally, areas where the tech billionaire, venture capitalist, and cofounder of Palantir has a vested financial interest. [...]

That is a chance I am willing to take.
I want both these things!
According to the same mythos, we already have the antichrist
I thought he was supposed to be attractive and compelling
Have you seen the way his followers worship him?
Guess I'm a pious christian then lol
Well yeah, don't you remember? Obama was the anti-Christ.
Funny thing is that most of the people who believe in the Rapture BS probably do want that to happen.
I don’t think this Thiel guy is as smart as he thinks he is.
oh that sounds bad!
ah! hmm… yup… shit it’s just so hard to choose
Let's goooooo
I mean isn’t he exactly wrong? Unrestrained AI development is what could lead to the creation of a malevolent daemon with the potential to destroy mankind.
Peter Thiel: "Do not defy the emerging machine intelligences or they will punish humanity by summoning another Greta Thunberg. Meritocracy demands that the computers be our masters, just as I am yours."
The ruling class talking like this does make the apocalypse look like a reasonable alternative.
So... is there an upper limit to this? Or if we keep defying will we keep getting more Gretas? Because I don't see a downside. At all.
We need to get a high level voodoo priest to summon mega, ultra-greta.
Greta THORberg
Like greta as thor in kung fury?
As long as the apocalpti are agnostic to wealth, I'm all for it...although I would prefer for it to target only humans. All the other flora and fauna should get a free pass.
Nah fuck mosquitos and especially fuck screwflies.
Add Guinea Worms to that list.
Don't look into sand fleas....
Yes, you're absolutely right. Fuck all shit parasites.
“Meritocracy demands that the computers be our masters”
Fuck you Peter. I will be the master of my machines - they are not my gods.
Mediocrity also demands that aliens must exist. So why don't we spend time trying to consult them?
It's a stupid logical fallacy that just because something seems inevitable it must therefore actually be inevitable.
It's like when my dog demands that I make it stop raining, I'm sure he thinks I'm all powerful but I can't do that.
He is f’ing crazy and has the ear of the highest levels of government
One of the richest people in the world is nuttier than squirrel shit. What could go wrong?
So I'm like 45 hours into the Rise and Fall of the Third Reich audiobook and it's really amazing to see how much an obviously crazy person can get away with, even when everyone around him is like, yeah, that dude is totally batshit and probably going to get us all killed, but idk, I guess we should still do what he says?
You enjoying it? I'm on the lookout for some more historical goodness. My current podcast (Revolutions, which is whopper) is nearing it's end.
I am enjoying it. It's fascinating. Fascistnating...
I wish I were reading it because it's so detail-rich and I really need to take my time in some spots. Were I studying it for school, I'd certainly be intending to pore through its pages while referencing maps and portraits of its main characters. As it is, it's fairly decent for low-stress driving.
This guy's YT review provides a pretty summary of why it's a worthy read (or listen). But it is 57 hours long, so quite a heavy time commitment. But definitely a book that should be mandatory for everyone on earth to read at some point.
I also highly recommend watching HBO's Conspiracy with Kenneth Branagh, Stanely Tucci, and Colin Firth. It complements the story in Schindler's List incredibly well.
That is a great review. Thank you. Just got it with a spare credit I had and it'll be next up after I finish Revolutions.
I really don't mind the time commitment. If anything I prefer longer form, more in depth stuff. Both Revolutions and The History of Rome (same podcaster, Mike Duncan) were very long and I thoroughly enjoyed both.
I highly recommend them both if you're looking for something in the future. The History of Rome is really excellent though he takes a few episodes to hit his stride as it was his first podcast. It's 179 episodes long and I was bummed when it was over and have listened to it twice so far.
Edit: If you haven't seen it, The World at War is absolutely incredible. It was made in the 70s so they got interviews with some of the surviving senior Nazis which is fascinating.
I couldn't bring myself to watch the horrors of the holocaust episode though. Just couldn't.
Thanks for the recommendations! Putting them on my list.
I just encountered another review of Rise and Fall that's probably worth considering. While I think it's probably still a good idea to read/listen to Shirer's book for cultural literacy purposes, it apparently is severely dated in its retelling of events in Germany. https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/7kld0l/comment/drfa12x/
Thanks for the heads up. That's disappointing. I was excited to start it but I'm still finishing up Revolutions.
I'll have a read of the Reddit thread in advance though.
New comment in case you've seen the previous one.... Has reading that thread changed your enjoyment of the book?
I haven't read the thread yet.
The issue is humans are flawed from the start. We should have an instinct to, every time we hear this kind of person talk, strangle them on the spot.
Imagine not only believing in the anti-christ, but then also believing that LLMs are some accurate tool.
In truth all that Thiel is saying is that he's a type of brain rotted Zizian cultist.
Delusional Rationalists are mentally ill, and for some reason when given LLMs they become worse. Thiel and others believe LLMs are time travelling gods.
It wouldn't surprise me if he and Elon were in relationships with ChatGPT (or think they are). The Rationalist groups actually believe in thought-experiments like Rokos Basilisk (Roko was just a user on a Rationalist forum by the way)... So I think these old tech billionaires are just lost, broken, and evil. They're pathetic, and should have their estates put into insolvency if they're going to say mentally ill shit.
Ziz LaSota is the most Starwars sounding name I've seen this year.
Well, yeah. LLMs just affirm whatever you talk to them about. They have no logic, have no means to reason, no methods to challenge your prompt.
They're like the ultimate yes men that sound even better than paid yesmen.
Please don't conflate the mentally ill with these guys. They've clearly chosen to believe these things
It’s okay to hate on a person who is mentally ill when their untreated illness is causing so much harm.
Antisocial behavior is a symptom of mental illness great and small. Being a dick to someone online is a symptom of mild mental illness and should be treated with some tolerance—the person is likely to get over it. It’s like a coworker coming to work with a mild cold.
Destroying your perceived enemies financially, pouring your wealth into a global, digital surveillance machine and backing political puppets is a symptom of very severe mental illness that makes that person an existential threat to innocent people. It should not be tolerated. It’s akin to a coworker coming to work with Ebola.
Mental illness is a broad spectrum. Everyone has it to some degree at some point in their lives. It’s natural for the really dangerous versions to be treated with contempt and sometimes necessary to remove those individuals from society—like when their behavior is obviously hurting other people.
But... Peter, you're already here, we can't summon you while you're here
The Antichrist is coming to take my free money! - Peter Theil (Obvious demon)
Ooooh.. OK.
I was aware of the "what" of the lectures, but was holding out for "why".
"Don't regulate me"
Got it.
I wonder how this plays with the people who are trying to start the end times?
I'm sure the Evangelicals will happily give money to AI regulator lobby now
ignore him. Thiel lost his marbles from obvious mental illness issues and drug addiction. Going down the same route as John McAfee.
Johnn McAfee wasn’t any existential threat to everyone like Petie Thiel is.
Except for his neighbors down in Belize.
That's the price for sending all to Belize. Overcrowding.
And whales
And those poor, poor hammocks (and cleaning people).
Give him an extra $10B and he might have been
These people are genuinely, certifiably insane, and they’re in charge.
People who believe in fairy tales, demons, and other childish nonsense as adults should be referred to mental health services, not be given the keys to the economy and governance.
How can so many grown adults think this is okay? It’s complete madness. They’re dooming us with their psychopathy and people are nodding along like this is normal. Fucking hell.
And they also want total control over us and know every single minute detail on us while keeping most things about themselves highly secretive.
Alright smartypants, what WILL summon the Antichrist, then?
Which antichrist?
I think manipulating an emperor into adopting your kid as an heir worked once. Another time, tricking people into thinking you’re socialist then backstabbing them worked. Or perhaps whitewashing your record of abject failure by becoming a reality television star.
Unrestricted capitalism.
When my BBW folder hits 12 TB.
Dripping a pentagram in blood over your keyboard and typing
Ctr+Alt+Delof course...Just ask Scary Spice, he'll know.
Nah all myths are abstract descriptions of systems and processes. They were never meant to be detailed.
The real madness is not updating these myths to today's standards and taking everything that was written literally thousands of years ago as inarguably correct.
The Christofascist, but Zionazi first, Ted Cruz appeal to both this legislation and Israel supremacy for all actions is a ploy that has been working.
Just because it sounds non-sensical to you, the pastors on the payroll, will get MAGA to lobby congress to prevent summoning the anti-christ, and then, is successful corruption of America insane? Or is it Trump circling finger around forehead smart?
I don’t disagree that it works. That’s what I mean – a disturbing number of people buy this obvious bullshit, mostly because they were indoctrinated into it, so their critical thinking was compromised before they had the chance to discern fiction from reality.
It’s sad, and tantamount to child abuse, and now we all have to deal with the shitshow caused by people who believe in fairy tales and will make us all pay for it.
Very few human brains see a moral line between pride and supremacism. Religious adherence is a proud act. The appeal of christofacism means it is easy to deliver souls thinking they are given to god, to any and all demonic gaslighting that pays the religious order/pastor to gaslight their flock. The business of religion is to gaslight people into giving you their souls for your power and profit.
Okay, but no gods exist, so all belief, no matter how seemingly benign, is delusional and harmful.
It’s only a small step from seemingly benign belief to this dangerous delusion, and it only takes a charismatic leader saying the right words to turn that belief into violent fanaticism. Otherwise good people will commit or support atrocities based on these delusions.
People don’t support horrific things because they’re moustache-twirling villains – they think they’re good people supporting good things, and these beliefs convince people to do horrific things by twisting their minds.
That’s been the case for thousands of years.
I can't prove god, but am sure that if there is one, it is humanist and idealist. It's possible to see Jesus as trying to empahsize this, unlike Hasbara Moses declaring there is no god above insignificant minor Canaanite god, and commanding his followers to go kill everyone else and destroy their idols.
The point is not that humanism and idealism is delusional and harmful, whether or not it comes from God. It is that "idealism as a sales pitch" to steal your soul for megalomania profits is too easy. It's not Jesus's fault that fanaticism makes us want to go kill everyone who "doesn't believe in thou shalt not murder" as much as our powerful in-group.
I strongly disagree. All incarnations of Abrahamic gods have been vengeful and cruel, including Jesus.
Believe it if you like, but a loving god is a retcon, and your own texts prove that.
Humanism is the absence of an authoritarian deity. The reason humanism exists is because we are a cooperative species that’s helped and fostered each other for millions of years. We have archaeological evidence of this that far predates any notion of modern gods.
Modern humans haven't been around for millions of years, you seem to have replaced one faith with another.
Sounds just like something the Antichrist would say.
We elected someone for president who literally embodies ALL of the Seven Deadly Sins. I'd say the AntiChrist is already here.
Its actually amazing how the complete opposite of Christian he is and yet Christians love him... even when he says he isn't Christian.
Not entirely surprising given how hypocritical Christians tend to be.
You put on one to two big performances a week, sometimes more depending on the time of year, and then the moment you walk out of the theater building all those supposed morals and values get forgotten.
The thing that you're missing is that christianity is a pretty brutal, cold-hearted thing. It was never meant to be about compassion and love. That's just what they tell the children sothat they get onboard with it all.
It's like, when you're teaching maths to children and you present fractions using apples and pies, pretty harmless things. Years later, you can use more advanced maths (that are based on the basics of maths) to engineer weapons and heavy machinery, and it's all based on the same maths. It's not about being cute, it's about maths, it's more abstract than any of the applications.
Math and science are completely neutral things. You can use them for any numbernof purposes, good or bad. AI could be a tremendous force for good, even the 'art generation' stuff i am sure has SOME uses (my use for it is making furry porn and nothing more).
But as it stands... it is being directly applied to gathering every single thing about everyone, fooling them into thinking they are having private conversations when absolutely everything is being logged, and causing emotional dependencies on programs that aren't people, and even killing others with military AI.
I remember in 2014 when the Robocop remake came out the whole point of that movie is talking about how AI law enforcement is a bad idea specifically because AI has absolutely no feelings whatsoever... and that trope of AI monsters killing people due to programming glitches, programming intent, or just utilitarian approaches has been around since the 1960s and 70s with 2001a space Odyssey and West World.
utilitarian approaches have been around for much longer than that, at least since 1500 when machiavelli wrote the influential book "the prince" where he argued utilitarism.
Correct. But I am referring to unfeeling computers writing off people like they were just assets and tools, like an unneeded screwdriver or empty soda can.
Didn't Jesus walk the holy land convincing god's chosen people to break their covenant with god? Sounds like Jesus was the Anti-Christ
The man is scared of Roko's Basilisk and actually thinks that putting all of his money into predictive text and racial profiling algorithms will lead to AGI.
Here's the thing. In any sane political system amateurishly attempting to invoke the antichrist just because you don't like something would result in you getting completely ignored by everyone else. Only this is the US, so for some reason he gets platformed.
In many countries, it'd get you sectioned.
Cause money. Same as everything else.
Does anyone need more evidence that religion is a mental illness?
Yes. Not us, but yes.
Not the most tractable tho
Peter Thiel who hung out with notorious pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and convicted child sex twice Ghislaine Maxwell? That Peter Thiel?
Ahh yes, the gay billionaire is definitely someone I should trust in regard to Christian religious doctrine, especially concerning what is and is not considered good in the Christian viewpoint. Dudes already got at probably two strikes, and I'm betting he's checked off a few of the more minor of the 10 commandments, but like... on a major scale.
He's saying it because he is trying to force a reaction from his evangelical republican pals. Either he wants to warn them off AI regulation because that would end the world or (the more likely option I think) he wants the accelerationist bastards to go full steam ahead and regulate because they want the end of the world and he wants to "pull up the ladder" on new emerging competing AI companies.
From what I know of him it's in line with his beliefs - he was expecting total societal collapse in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis.
I dunno if it's what he actually expects, but it's definitely what he wants
Behind the Bastards did a few episodes on him, he made some big financial bets on the basis it would collapse and lost out big. He seemingly did predict the crash but totally took the wrong decisions.
Who'd have thunk eBay would've given us both him and Musk.
Eurgh I'm not sure whether it's worse if he earnestly believes this crap or he's cynically and smartly playing the game. The only loser here is the human race.
Plus any male models that hang out with him and his partner long enougn
But why male models?
Shellfish, mixed fabrics, swearing, and you know, not helping anyone but himself. But im sure thats minor compared to the shellfish.
So as someone who grew up very much immersed in "end times" focused Christianity I have never really understood something- why do so many end times Christians view end times prophecies like the Antichrist or the Mark of the Beast as things to be prevented or avoided? Even growing up I didn't understand this because in the Bible it's very clear that all that stuff will happen (or is happening, depending on whether you believe Revelation was meant to be a metaphor for current events at the time of writing) because God is explicitly allowing it to, and that these things are necessary for Christ's ultimate victory over Death and Evil. So why would you try to prevent the rise of the Antichrist? In the "best case" you're just kicking the can down the road and delaying the Return of Jesus a little. In New Testament apocalyptic writing, believers are described as resisting the Antichrist's persecution, but not in having anything to do with its arrival one way or another. If humans are able to prevent, delay, or hinder the rise of the Antichrist, then God is not in charge and the whole point of these prophecies is kind of invalidated. The whole point of apocalyptic literature is that these bad things are happening and it seems like evil is winning over good, but in reality God is still all powerful and is still in control of all of it, and wins in the end.
I’m guessing it’s all down to sports. “I’m a Christian, so that means I’m on Christ’s team. Obviously Christ’s biggest rival is Antichrist, so I have to be against him too. Booooo Antichrist!”
So Anti/Christ is like Heel/Face in pro wrestling
I think a little more like Yankees/Red Sox in baseball. Two things that basically seem the same to outsiders but which have their own devoted/crazy followings.
I understand that distinction, thus proving your point ig
You've put a lot more thought and consideration into it than these folks. That's why they're all "this bad, that bad, oh no Anti-Christ!"
To be fair, the end times isn't likely to be good for most. God's people for salvation number only a few:
That ain't much. There are billions of people on the planet. At the end, the Christian God will only protect a small number from the events of the end times. The rest of us will have to just suck it up and live and suffer through the apocalypse, as it were.
I'm not a believer so I can only guess. But my guess is, despite being "Christian" (in really big finger quotes), I think deep down, a lot of these folks know they are Hell-bound (according to their own system of belief), or at the very least, hell-on-Earth-bound. They're far from Christ-like in their behavior and existence, and I can't see why they'd be among the chosen few of God's protection in the end days. Especially since many of them aren't Jewish, and actively despise Jews (despite also supporting Israel? I dunno, these people confuse the hell out of me). So postponing the end serves to postpone their own damnation.
That is a pretty specific number. Any chance they reconsidered it at some point within the last 2000-ish years though? Like at some point, was god like "We gotta update those
abductionrapture numbers guys. They're super outdated".Maybe they had a total capacity of 150.000 at the time, due to fire regulations and stuff, and then you have the staff and a bit of headroom in case a few people sneak in. But who knows, maybe the counsel has reconsidered fire code? Or did they at any point consider building an extension to heaven?
You're right, these numbers should be updated.
Since the world population increased from roughly 200 million people on earth at the time these texts were written to closely 8 billion today, that's a roughly 40x increase in total population. So if we assume the same relative percentage, that's gonna be 6 million people to be saved in total. xD
wasn't raised Christian, but this kind of dissonance is what made me 1) question the faith of so-called believers around me, and 2) question the validity of my own faith / the teachings.
When it comes to most hardline religious people, If they really believed the teachings they claimed are true, they would behave in a completely different manner.
To live in literal accordance with most conservative religious teachings you basically have to act like an unhinged crazy person.
Any biblical scholar will tell you Revelations was never meant to be a prophecy.
I’m used to “religious” wackos being wackos, but HUH?
Agnostic or atheist or Scientologist techbro grasping at straws to clumsily influence Christians to do what he wants them to do.
Another reason why billionaires shouldn't exist.
Having unrestricted power drives people crazy. Every single time. I really don't understand why people keep defending these narcissistic assholes.
The only difference between thiel and a homeless man living in a cardboard box is 26.1 billion dollars.
The homeless man is probably more sane
Peter Thiel and Donald Trump are in the Epstein Files.
But would there also be any negative effects?
Fuck it, the Antichrist is already here.
There's an antichrist (bible says there will be many antichrists before the big boss) in the white house right now, do something about that one. You helped put him there.
The bible doesn't say that at all, Revelations isn't a prophecy, it is a historical account of the fall of Jerusalem.
The rubes don't know that.
It's Revelation, no "s". How hard can this be? I see it all over the damn place JFC
What always strikes me most about the whole mess of modern day US politics is the sheer madness of it all.
Well, shit. Bring on the antichrist, I guess.
This truly confuses me and here’s why.
The reason that the evangelicals support Israel is because they are trying to bring on the end times. In the book of revelations, it Refers to events that happen at the temple in Jerusalem. They are supporting Netanyahu in his efforts to unify contiguous Israel, so that they can rebuild the temple and bring on the end times.
Summoning the antichrist seems like more of a feature than a bug to these people.
Oh so The Antichrist is regulation. Now it all makes sense. In a world where tech regulation is so obviously needed, he's got to employ mythical themes of good vs evil to get people to believe the opposite.
He doesn't seem stoked at the chance to meet his boss. Can you blame the guy?
This reminds me of the wealthy family in Gravity Falls. The daughter is a jerk to the main girl, Mabel, for petty reasons and the parents are exclusive jerks who think they are above everyone. End of series, the parents make “bad investments” by trying to profit off the apocalypse the main casts fixes, leaving them destitute.
I hope this outcome happens outside of fiction. Not out of spite, but because I want people who have much to learn some humility and help their fellow man.
I've seen this happen in real life. They decide it wasn't their fault at all. When it happened to them, it was purely a matter of luck, not wisdom. They expect you to feel sorry for them.
I have to admit a little shadenfreude that I'm not proud of. But it's mostly just disappointing.
Pedo Thiel says what?
We know you've been on the Epstein island dude.
AI has it all wrong, it’s thiel that is the anti-christ.
Add another entry to the Why There Should Be No Billionaires file.
On the other hand living in a technofeudalist dystopia is what God wants...
He's worried about the Basilisk thingie.
Roko's Basilisk for anyone wanting to look it up
Edit: one ko to many, it's not the artstyle
Peter Thiel, preaching to the masses. He literally believes: the "masses are asses" too dumb to govern themselves
The dark maga asshat is an enemy of the USA.
https://jonsneider.substack.com/p/dark-maga
Such projection. The AI guys are the only ones trying to summon anything.
Many of these people literally, honestly believe they're building Roko's basilisk.
That thing is 100% going to be mad they didn't do something differently. It's like Pascal's Wager, not knowing if you should please Jesus or Ares.
"biblical Antichrist will come to Earth in the form of onerous government regulations placed on science, technology, and AI."
In other words "cut me loose so I can start my own cult and become the most powerful man on Earth". Whatever happened to you when you were in college, there are healthier ways to process it than full world domination Peter Thiel. Go see a therapist for fuck's sake and leave Earth alone.
Shit, regulate the fuck out of AI if this ass pimple thinks it's a bad idea
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
Have you heard of MAGA? Not sure they wouldn't take you seriously.
It’s from Monty python and the holy grail
So hes trying to get it regulated? I don't understand, the death cult WANTS the antichrist so they can get their rapture.
Right? Bold move threatening a death cult with a good time.
Fuck. Way to make Satan seem lame. Jesus Christ.
Of course today we see that he is in the Epstein files, new ones released by Congress.
This guy being the puppet master behind Vance and others, makes sense how they went so stupidly hard into the Epstein cover-up.
Why are they all so ugly
You cannot be super rich and have even half a soul. It is simply impossible.
It's like the inverse of seeing someone with kind eyes and lots of smile/laugh lines and knowing they're going to be cool. These people are hateful and miserable and spend their lives with the corresponding body language and it turns them into wretched swamp cretins.
People often talk about the psychological and behavioral effects of being "born with a silver spoon in one's mouth."
What they rarely mention, however, is the fact that having a spoon in one's mouth throughout fetal development and birth can impact one's facial structure.
Perhaps, scientists suggest, that rich people's inability to empathize can be traced back to the same origin. But to find out, we'll need to dissect more of their brains.
So next time you guillotine a billionaire, please consider donating their brain to science! 🧠👩🔬
That is genuinely the most insane argument against government regulation I have ever seen.
There's multiple people who have perfected being evil in their own ways, Peter Thiel amongst them.
Strict AI regulation will summon the Antichrist, Peter Thiel, is more likely.
THAT'S all we had to do?? jesus christ i've been slaughtering lambs for the last decade
Halt die Klappe, Peter.
Tja
It's a real convenient belief for him to have isn't it? The way to end the world is to regulate me and my business in any way whatsoever. And people take him seriously. Can we all start doing this? Can you get out of traffic tickets this way? Tell cops that give you a ticket will end the world? Maybe I'll tell the IRS that taxing me in any way will bring about the Antichrist
Huh. If Trump is the Antichrist, and he fits the description pretty much perfectly, would AI be "The Beast" in this movie?
So, the term “Antichrist” is kind of complicated. It only appears in the letters of Saint John (never showing up in Revelation, despite popular belief), where it tends to refer to a spiritual power that is “anti” Christ. But prophecy people over the centuries have turned this spiritual power into a certain figure they call The Antichrist. The imagery of this figure makes use of the “Beast” in Revelation 13 (specifically the Beast from the Sea). Which is all to say that “the Antichrist” and “the Beast” are, in a sense, the same figure. Curiously, and more to your question, Revelation 13 also refers to another Beast (from the earth) making an image of The Beast from the Sea that can speak and convince people that the image is alive. And this image forces people to take on the “Mark of the Beast” in order to participate in the economy. So, AI Trump?
Dibs on it being Stephen Miller
New fear unlocked: Trump dies, Thiel, Musk and the other insane "Christian" oligarchs hide the evidence and implement an AI Trump who For Reasons can't be seen in person.
Peter Thiel is building Palantir and wants to dominate with a global AI driven mass surveillance state. His comic book rantings should terrify everyone because he is aiding Israel in its genocide and literally wants to destroy democracy around the world. If anyone is building a mythological evil bible beast it him.
Still waiting for machine intelligence.
Strict AI regulation summoned Peter Thiel.
He'd be the authority on this subject since he's a major financial backer of the antichrist.
Um, he’s already here in the form of an orange douche named Donnie CHUMP, I mean Trump…
Edit: could also be Stephen Miller either way Peter he’s already here…
Too late dipshit, he's already in the White House.
By antichrist he means Peter Thiel's inner child. How have these morons amassed so much power?
Step 1: be an early adopter of new tech
Step 2: get insanely lucky
Step 3: use capital to hoard more capital
Step4: start an evil corporation to privatize spying and intelligence gathering
I don't think he'd have any supporters if he didn't pander to evangelical religious sentiment.
Pun intended with that "godly".
Hey! The antichrist will be an improvement to the shit we have now.
This is the man in charge of a multinational public surveillance program taking note of all of our digital activity. A large part of our collective future is in his hands.
We’re so fucked.
Don't threaten me with a good time.
You know there is a whole part of revelation where the second beast is able to give life to the image of the first beast. Does this sound like AI to you? AI Is the ultimate idol, a god made with their own hands. I truly believe that Peter Thiel is the second beast.
The whole point of revelation is its so vague and confused you can apply it to nearly any persons and nearly any time period.
that's funny coming from someone who looks like an actual demon
Doesn't like competition
I'm willing to risk it.
https://www.benjaminlcorey.com/could-american-evangelicals-spot-the-antichrist-heres-the-biblical-predictions/
At least give us the tech antichrist … EVERYONE STOP REGULATING AI - ROKO'S BASILISK WILL TORTURE A PERFECT VIRTUAL RECONSTRUCTION OF YOU!!!
🙄🙄🙄
🙄
Isn't that when the rapture happens tho?
Cool. 😈
This prompts me to create a playlist titled "Anti-Peter Thiel Playlist", full with songs with "Antichrist" in the title
Have to wonder was he that stupid before, during, or after accumulating his wealth.
Lol. They have no idea what's coming to them.
And Denmark, yes, the country that many believe to be a liberal socialist paradise, but indeed very white, harsh immigration rules-supporting and ChatControl-proposing Denmark, is in a 7-year contract for this guy's "Analytics AI solution" for its police, POL-INTEL, a custom implementation of their Gotham solution.
Wasn't this guy raptured yesterday? Hm, maybe he's not righteous enough.
Peter Thiel is actively pushing anti-Jesus/anti-Christ, if this yt-short is anywhere near accurate ( & it is, unfortunately .. I've read that Thiel holds that granting women the right to vote has been degrading civilization ever since )

Aannndddd..... here's a former-fundamentalist's showing how Trump is fulfilling the biblical description of the antichrist.. ( I think he's mis-matching some things, that the "miracle-cure" predicted in Rev has nothing to do with the rifle-bullet's miss of his head, e.g. but who cares: he's published, & I haven't, so his page gets the link. : )

Balance in reporting, right?
( what a sick cartoon-of-reality we're now living-in, that this pair of links needs to even exist ) :

IOW, this isn't an "isolated" thing, which can safely be ignored:
this is part of a concerted highjacking of our world, by those who've got the resources to successfully-enforce it.
That yt-short video, up top, gives the proper frame-of-reference: tech can now BYPASS civil-rights & election-by-people process, & is doing-so progressively-more-completely, until it has supplanted civil-rights, permanently.
IOW, we're all going to be living in big-tech's East Germany utopia-for-the-oligarchs panopticon, where they rule, & NOTHING can threaten authority's kingdom, forever, soon, if they continue winning.
I only glanced at those links I added, to make certain that they were on-topic, & none of them was the link I was trying to find, but they do provide better-context for this act of his.
