Thiel who's been a longtime supporter of Trump said a few weeks ago that the US “should not have” launched the Iran war and that "there were a lot of mistakes that were made and that US may lack both the hard power and the soft power to prevail". i think at least he doesn't blindly support the admin and is true to his beliefs being opposed to neoconservative interventions.

on a separate note, Anthropic has been having private meetings with religious leaders about Claude’s possible consciousness and moral status. I fear the anti-christ could just be an AI gone rogue.

Hindsight is always 20/20. And as an outsider to the administration, it costs him nothing to admit the obvious failure.

And I never said or implied so, but I think he shares a lot of domestic political enemies with them.

IIRC, an AI not "gone rogue" could be an antichrist, too.
