This seems on-brand for Thiel. His lack of scruples were on bright display, back when he bankrolled the demise of Gizmodo (as an act of revenge for outing him).
They were on display when he firehosed cash to the WH occupant, in trade for dismantling the safeguards protecting US's most sensitive data and allowing him unprecedented access.
I'm glad the Pope doesn't get shaken by these sorts of claims. The Pope is the single least corruptible person on earth. Every politician has a price, but the Pope already has a kingdom and anything he could ask for. If the Chinese "win" the artificial intelligence race, will it make a difference if they've sacrificed their humanity?
The current specific Pope is blessed to be "the single least corruptible person on earth" in your own opinion?
The position of Pope itself is certainly no guarantee of ethical behaviour, as three time Pope Benedict IX and byword for corruption Pope Alexander VI aka Rodrigo Borgia (along with seven or eight other Popes) demonstrate.
All of these "tech titans" are psychiatric cases, and all seem to be heavy drug addicts. In any other industry they'd be fired and probably put behind bars for their behaivour.
But for some reason these guys are literally trying to rewrite society at a fundamental level and everyone is cool with it.

And the thing about unethical actors is they tend to see evil everywhere, except what is inside themselves. In 2025, Thiel declared the Pope is the Anticrist. https://www.ibtimes.co.uk/peter-thiel-antichrist-remarks-pop...

Not gonna name names but look them up. It’s not hard to tell.
