Thiel who's been a longtime supporter of Trump said a few weeks ago that the US “should not have” launched the Iran war and that "there were a lot of mistakes that were made and that US may lack both the hard power and the soft power to prevail". i think at least he doesn't blindly support the admin and is true to his beliefs being opposed to neoconservative interventions.

on a separate note, Anthropic has been having private meetings with religious leaders about Claude’s possible consciousness and moral status. I fear the anti-christ could just be an AI gone rogue.

Hindsight is always 20/20. And as an outsider to the administration, it costs him nothing to admit the obvious failure.

Vance is his puppet, and he will be sacrificed the second it looks like there could be any blowback

And I never said or implied so, but I think he shares a lot of domestic political enemies with them.

IIRC, an AI not "gone rogue" could be an antichrist, too.
