What ancient figures are considered forerunners of the Antichrist?
One of the most sophisticated men in America taking ancient prophecies seriously. Peter Thiel on Uncommon Knowledge Now. I think it was Ivan Illich who said that in the time before Christ, there were many forerunners to Christ. In the time after Christ, there will be many forerunners of the Antichrist. So in some sense, it's a type. So Nero was a type of the Antichrist. Or maybe Napoleon was a type of the Antichrist. It's sort of a... You know, it's someone who aspires for world domination to create, you know, the creation of this sort of one world state. In some ways, Alexander the Great was sort of a pre-Christ prototype of the anti-crisis, very parallel.
Long term, the AI is going to be in charge, to be totally frank, not humans. If artificial intelligence vastly exceeds the sum of human intelligence, it is difficult to imagine that any humans will actually be in charge. We just need to make sure that AI is friendly.
I think in general, we're all grappling for the right words to describe the arrival of this very, very different technology to anything we've ever seen before. The project of superintelligence should not be about replacing or threatening our species. That should just be taken for granted. And it's crazy to have to actually declare that. That should be self-evident.
We may be able to give people, if somebody's committed a crime, a more humane form of containment of future crime, which is if you say, like, you now get a free Optimus, and it's just going to follow you around and stop you from doing crime. But other than that, you get to do anything. It's just going to stop you from committing crime. That's really it. You don't have to put people in, like, prisons and stuff. It's pretty wild to think of all the possibilities, but I think it's clearly the future.
You can think of it as a system, you know, where maybe communism is a one-world system. It's sort of the final dictator of the one-world statement.
Do you worry about the unknowns here?
I worry a lot about the unknowns. I don't think we can predict everything for sure, but precisely because of that, we're trying to predict everything we can. We're thinking about the economic impacts of AI. We're thinking about the misuse. We're thinking about losing control of the model. But for the first time in history, we can actually imagine human beings destroying the world. Now also, We have the mechanisms that would make world government, a gigantic global surveillance state, is plausible. That seems plausible too. On its own, they both seem not that desirable. Why would we have a crazy surveillance state? Why would we, you know, why would we do this?
You've said AI could wipe out half of all entry-level white-collar jobs and spike unemployment to 10 to 20 percent in the next one to five years.
How will AI potentially change the control of humanity?
Yes. That is the future we could see if we don't become aware of this problem now. If you're scared enough of these things, that's the weapon. And this is sort of where my speculative thesis is that if the Antichrist were to come to power, it would be by talking about Armageddon all the time. The slogan of the Antichrist is peace and safety. I think it is an experiment. And one way to think about anthropic is that it's a little bit trying to put bumpers or guardrails on that experiment, right? You know, Antichrist or Armageddon, it sounds like they're both bad options. And that way of asking the question, it pushes us to find a third way.
This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people. I got a free shot on all these networks lying about the people. The people have had a belly full of it. I know you don't like hearing that. I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. It's going to happen.
And where do people like that go to share the big lie?
What are the implications of AI's intelligence surpassing human capabilities?
Mega media. I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
