Well, who could have possibly seen that coming right from this person. I'm so much waiting for this ridiculous AI psychosis driven grifters just to stop bothering other people with their bullshit.

>“It’s only the top 1 percent who matter. These are the people who are going to be the value creators” when, in his view, AI soon completely transforms just about every aspect of economic life.

>Among other criticisms, D’Souza dismisses the value of anonymous sources, believing they are discrediting, no matter the justification

Every supremacist accusation is a confession.

Remember, Thiel and Musk are both immigrants.

The U.S. legal system is very often a war of attrition. One side can relentlessly sue until the other side is broke, or just threaten. This is the basis of many plea deals, or worse, in the case of Aaron Swartz.

Billionaires seem to like it.

Peter Thiel, who waged a legal war against Gawker Media after it published coverage about his business interests and personal life which upset him

This is being very economical with the facts.

Gawker outed Thiel as gay against his wishes. And while the guy was in Saudi Arabia. Then they published a revenge porn tape of Hulk Hogan, which is what Thiel used to get them.

Didn't Gawker publish an illegally obtained sex tape of Hogan and refused to take it down even after a court order?
