Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

I am tempted to put "doing the bidding of the Antichrist for over 20 years" on my website. Or maybe even my LinkedIn profile.

Wait, what are the other people on LinkedIn doing?

not going on LinkedIn I would imagine.

What is going on with his face? Like he is morphing into the red skull.

[–] TomMasz@lemmy.world 27 points 3 days ago (1 children)

* he's extremely afraid of dying in general so he might be popping any immortality pill that was sold to him. i heard something about HGH

The thing about being terrified of death is it inherently makes you terrified of any permanent change outside of your conscious control.

Once we see the crucifixes made from chopsticks we will knowits is true

Remember that this is not targeted to influence you. This is targeted to influence brain-poisoned wealthy Republicans who own things like a bunch of fracking oil-fields, or multiple car dealerships across multiple Southern states. The doors to the institutional capital (especially public pension fund capital) that Thiel's investment funds previously had easy access to are surely being shut, and he's trying to salvage what he can from MAGA as it breaks up on re-entry.

But it hurts our minds all the same

Wouldn't the Pope's opinions on AI also apply to Chinese AI as well as western AI? Although I'm aware the catholic church has far more influence in the west than east.

AI age verification bot thinks young people still say 'cool cool cool'. A good example of aging training data right here.
