#23Is this the same Peter Thiel who gives lectures on Greta Thunberg being the literal anti-christ?
Not sure why you're being down voted but the answer is yes, it is the same Peter Thiel who gives lectures on Greta Thunberg being the literal anti-christ and if the down voters think you might be exaggerating or misleading them I encourage them to search this up. Edit - I searched to refresh myself, ok he didn't say she was the literal antichrist. He said she's literally a legionnaire for the literal antichrist. I ca…
Yeah, he definitely has gone off the rails lately with all the talk about the antichrist being a literal existing being with emissaries on earth. I haven't been watching his stuff but the little I've seen was unhinged.

If someone is saying that there are literal actuql existing legionnaires of the literal actual existing antichrist, and X person is one of them, it's not the "X person is one of them" part that I have an issue with.

Lately?
"I no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatible." 2009
He is just executing on this, and some of religious technocratic nonsense beliefs just leaked a bit.

"yes I'm right. Not sure why you are being downvoted. Do your own research"
Does research and now admits that he wasn't right, and understands why he and others were being down voted and hopefully learns from this and moves on.
Kudos for the edit and honesty: it's rare to see learning actually happen in fiery threads! I've been in your shoes and learning and change is possible.

#29Notably, by doing this Discord lied in their initial announcement. They originally said [1] that all processing would be on-device, but that's not true for users subject to this "experiment". 1: https://discord.com/press-releases/discord-launches-teen-by-...

"Persona clarified that by 'immediately' they mean 'after seven days.'" "And given their ties to Palantir, it's probably fine. You t…

People have already validated this fyi. When k-ID was first added you could send a bogus age result to discord from your local device, which probably still works. There's no evidence your facial scans leave the device.
> "By that I mean they partnered with Persona to do the actual verification."
Which isn't true, it was a UK-only experiment being run for a small subset of users, which has now been discontinued.
I get people are outraged, but this is sensationalism at best.
