Peter Thiel Warns Regulation Could Bring Antichrist

San Francisco, California — Peter Thiel, a prominent technology billionaire, has sparked controversy by claiming that regulating artificial intelligence could accelerate the arrival of the Antichrist. Thiel made these remarks during a lecture in San Francisco this week, where he discussed the implications of government regulations on technology and progress.

According to attendees, Thiel expressed concern that the fear of regulatory oversight could lead to a choking of technological advancement. He indicated that such actions are akin to courting the devil, as they could pave the way for a one-world government that promises peace yet undermines human freedom.

Thiel, who co-founded PayPal and Palantir Technologies, has remained a vocal advocate against excessive regulation in the tech sector. His views blend his conservative beliefs with an interpretation of biblical prophecies concerning the Antichrist. The lecture series he has been participating in, named the Acts 17 Collective, seeks to explore the intersection of technology and faith.

During the lecture, Thiel referenced historical fears surrounding existential threats and warned that societal anxiety about these threats creates an environment ripe for authoritarian control under the guise of safety and security.

This event comes as Palantir announced a significant investment in the UK, further tying Thiel’s business interests with his ideological beliefs. Critics have raised concerns about the potential implications of the software developed by Palantir, especially given its rumored use in military operations, including by the Israel Defense Forces.

The talks, which were originally intended to be off-the-record, have attracted significant media attention and scrutiny regarding Thiel’s controversial statements about technology and regulation.

In a digital landscape increasingly occupied by AI, Thiel argues that the stakes are higher than ever. He maintains that success in technology should not be impeded by political fears, as such actions may ultimately lead humanity toward darker paths.
