I actually did read Thiel is trying to create what he calls an AI version of Jesus. The people in charge of these things are utterly insane and should be stripped of wealth and maybe questioned by an Inquisition or two.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

He’s been going around giving speeches for a few years now about how anyone who tries to hinder the progress of AI is the antichrist.
The head of an AI company that is attempting to create a panopticon so complete it is capable of automating execution for thought crime is claiming the people against him are the antichrist.
Peter, Jesus would slap the shit out of you
anyone who tries to hinder the progress of AI is the antichrist.
Call me unchristian because I enjoy the work of my fellow humans
Peter, Jesus would slap the shit out of you
Peter is homotype. Jesus would do a lot worse than slap him, if he reads his Dad's Book
Thiel the anti-christ trying to create a facssimile of the human jesus, he may well succeed since the anti-christ specializes in REALITY WARPING.
The Daemon has many forms. You must know them all. You must tell the Daemon from his disguise and root him out from the hidden places. Trust no-one. trust not even yourself. It is better to die in vain than to live an abomination. The zealous martyr is praised for his valour: the craven and the unready are justly abhorred.
Well shit a crusade I might actually join, when do we start burning shit down Leo?
New commandment just dropped: "Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of a human mind."
The Butlerian Jihad is coming early.
Oh shit, Orange Catholic Bible release coming soon??
Start denying Communion to people involved In the high level aspects of AI (CEOs, people lobbying for data centers, etc) and I’ll believe it’s more than words.
I don't think Mark Zuckerberg takes communion
I don't think he has a soul.
Reactionaries are into AI and their idea of traditional Catholicism, the overlap has to be happening somewhere.
Of course he does, but instead of drinking the blood of Jesus he drinks blood straight from the children he supported killing in Palestine.
Zuck only drinks the blood drawn from his limitless army of self clones, nothing else is pure enough for him
Alien Invasion
This is also one of the teaches of Peaches
But it won't be, because it works and power loves things that work.
