man’s paid for the antichrist to be president

[–] ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 4 points 7 hours ago

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.

Well, there's my first "Wait, what?" moment of the day.

[–] NoodlePoint@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

Punchable face.

Also, makes me think of the movie Eagle Eye and that wild hard-chasing Predator drone loaded with Hellfire missiles.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 2 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

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.

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago

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.

[–] aesthelete@lemmy.world 58 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

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

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 1 points 8 hours ago

Yeah, but then Columbus ruined it

[–] itztalal@lemmings.world 23 points 1 day ago (1 children)

When? Religious people have always been morons.

There was a small period 15-20 years ago on the internet where religious bullshit was always laughed out of the room, but then technology improved and more religious dipshits were able to get online and support each other.

[–] popekingjoe@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Used to be that every village had its idiot. The Internet gave the idiots their own village.

[–] VeloRama@feddit.org 3 points 23 hours ago

Nah. Used to be that every village hat its smart dude that got laughed at when they were going against the grain. The Internet gave those smart dudes their own village. But now the rest of the village is joining.

[–] cycadophyta@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago

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

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 40 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 1 points 8 hours ago

If you wear the right kind of hat it's literally impossible to say anything stupid enough to be put away.

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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.

[–] MysticKetchup@lemmy.world 185 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] bigfondue@lemmy.world 53 points 2 days ago (2 children)

His origin story is too on the nose for a movie. Like a rich, gay, foreigner who grew up on an Apartheid uranium mine?!

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 2 points 8 hours ago

Him having grown up on a uranium mine actually explains an awful lot about him. Probably some mutated lizard person.

[–] chisel@piefed.social 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Are we talking about Thiel or Elon?

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemmy.zip 13 points 1 day ago

Pretty sure Elon was emeralds instead of uranium. Probably blood emeralds, but emeralds all the same.

[–] Tim_Bisley@piefed.social 142 points 2 days ago (2 children)

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

[–] Ste41th@lemmy.ml 43 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Hold on let me ask the rich politicians to see if they want to tax their buddy’s more and whilst they are at it pay extra tax themself.

[–] itztalal@lemmings.world 5 points 1 day ago

Yeah, can we stop being collective idiots and nominating the enemy because we're afraid of the enemy?

How stupid are we? Especially when we lose and do the same thing again?

*rapist and child molester Peter Thiel

[–] calliope@retrolemmy.com 45 points 2 days ago

He’s been told his entire life he’s better than everyone else, it’s no wonder he convinces others.

He spent part of his youth benefiting from apartheid and being a German kid in an African town that literally glorified Nazism until the 1980s.

He got all of the $100,000 he first lost in bad investments from family and friends.

Celebrity billionaires, they’re just like us… lmao

[–] leastaction@lemmy.ca 41 points 2 days ago

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.

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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.

[–] qaz@lemmy.world 43 points 2 days ago

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

[–] xenomor@lemmy.world 57 points 2 days ago (2 children)

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

A cartoon villain if I've ever seen one

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 13 points 2 days ago

Only a lot worse cause he is real and there are no superheroes to fight him.

[–] daveB@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 day ago

Thiel looks like he is wearing a skin suit

[–] sbbq@lemmy.zip 40 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Is he talking about himself?

[–] flamingo_pinyata@sopuli.xyz 16 points 2 days ago

He's more of a "High Priest of Antichrist" type. He'd fit perfectly as a season villain in Buffy.

[–] dyathinkhesaurus@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago (1 children)

He's an Accelerationist. He wants this to happen.

[–] FarceOfWill@infosec.pub 7 points 2 days ago

Yeah idgi. He's trying to convince the Christian right to regulate ai or something right?

[–] notannpc@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

Sounds like something a pedophile would say.

[–] RockBottom@feddit.org 26 points 2 days ago

If we always do the opposite of Peter Thiel's plan, we are safe.

[–] roofuskit@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

Why wouldn't Peter Thiel want himself hastened?

[–] TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.com 21 points 2 days ago (1 children)
[–] Insekticus@aussie.zone 10 points 2 days ago

It's got serious "if you don't let me do what I want to do, you'll make do bad stufff and youll regret it" vibes

[–] LodeMike@lemmy.today 17 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] dyathinkhesaurus@lemmy.world 17 points 2 days ago (2 children)

People would stop reading at "Peter Thiel says", "Elon Musk says", "Donald Trump says", there's a better chance of a click if they do it this way.

[–] frongt@lemmy.zip 15 points 2 days ago

People would stop reading at "Peter Thiel says", "Elon Musk says", "Donald Trump says"

Yes, as they should.

*Ave Satani strengthens*

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

[–] db2@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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