it is :chefskiss: exquisite that Thiel, of all the lot of them, is a snitch to usgov[0]

As a CHS, Thiel was assigned a code name and an internal serial number to track his reporting. The information he passed on about foreign contacts and Silicon Valley intrigue was reviewed

gotta wonder how many of the progenitors of the absurd are currently squirming uncomfortably. I hope it's a lot of them

[0] - funny in the "would be a self-contradiction against prior statements" way, but as usual all that stuff is windowdressing and the real mission is his personal gain

This reply is a truly astounding all-rounder:

Indeed, decent, down-to-earth people should unite in a time where both power hungry fascists and foreign adversaries are exploiting the extreme divides in the country.

Fractally not-even-wrong. Masterful.

It takes a real libertarian to be a government informer.

So Thiel also bought up most of the far right twitter ecosystem at 50k a pop.

Makes one think. He was using BTC for it and i assume that stuff is all trackable now.

Hurling ordure at the TREACLES, especially those closely related to LessWrong.

AI-Industrial-Complex grift is fine as long as it sufficiently relates to the AI doom from the TREACLES. (Though TechTakes may be more suitable.)

This is sneer club, not debate club. Unless it's amusing debate.

[Especially don't debate the race scientists, if any sneak in - we ban and delete them as unsuitable for the server.]
