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.

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.
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.
Sounds just like something the Antichrist would say.
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.
What always strikes me most about the whole mess of modern day US politics is the sheer madness of it all.
Such projection. The AI guys are the only ones trying to summon anything.

Add another entry to the Why There Should Be No Billionaires file.
Huh. If Trump is the Antichrist, and he fits the description pretty much perfectly, would AI be "The Beast" in this movie?

"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.
Why are they all so ugly
You cannot be super rich and have even half a soul. It is simply impossible.
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! 🧠👩🔬

But would there also be any negative effects?
He'd be the authority on this subject since he's a major financial backer of the antichrist.
Fuck it, the Antichrist is already here.
That is genuinely the most insane argument against government regulation I have ever seen.
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.
