Peter Thiel's Antichrist lectures in Rome spark questions in Italian parliament

This man is a cartoonish bond villain.

It seems we humans are destined to be ruled and controlled by the sociopaths among us.

sociopaths win most power battles in inefficient society.

The only exit is if AI enslaves us and starts rewarding humans based on useful merits.

The hell makes you think the AI wouldn't be guided by the optimization function set by sociopaths?

sociopaths in power are interested in holding status quo, so that function will punish other sociopaths, and reward loyal and hardworking individuals.

If only the Europeans would put more of their time and talents into something useful, rather than Nag screens.
