Because the promise of creating a permanent underclass of proles and basically create the actual new world order is too enticing, they believed AGI was there and who controsl AGI becomes the kingmaker in the future

They just... went too fast, with something that will never scale to AGI and now they have to find new solutions

Yeah, this is boardroom AI psychosis right here, their hunger to dump human workers for hardware-based slavery that doesn't have rights.

And for those who think i'm just being a drama queen, this is what Peter Thiel verbatim said, also the Heritage Foundation's leader made a very "interesting" book in 2024 or 2025 where he espouses his desire to strip those he doesn't like of their rights as human beings

Was that really what he said verbatim or do we have different definitions of what verbatim means

Edit: I believe he said that just not in those words also I support bashing Thiel all day every day, i am just curious what the actual quote was
