"Regulating #AI hastens the #Antichrist, says #Palantir’s Peter #Thiel

#Tech #billionaire claims in a lecture about #religion that the #devil promises #peace and #safety by strangling #technological #progress with #regulation"

Oh fuck you you fucking wackjob

But of course, he has vast power, we do not

While we struggle with terrible conflicts today, this asshole sets up the next, more horrible one

I knew it was going to turn into a hallway of mirrors. You see the antichrist… this thing that gets in an oblique reference in the Bible, and is only elaborated on outside of it is this, is a real thing because Bible.

In other words, the super rich guy who is heavily invested in AI totalitarianism perceives laws meant to prevent that as the antichrist

@benroyce his listeners need to be told some good old "that's exactly what the Antichrist would say" and they wouldn't know any better either cause they don't know how AI works

@benroyce
That is extra weird to me, as my most religious grandparent is convinced that technology is the devil. I'm not sure he would win at convincing her otherwise.

@benroyce Also, I seem to remember some "Rapture" literature which indicated that the "Mark of the Beast" would be some sort of bar-code. Hmmmm...
