Steve Hammond✒️ 📚🔭📹 🏴Just found out (according to Peter Theil) that critics of AI are "legionnaires of the antichrist"¹
Hello fellow legionnaires!
¹Thank John Oliver (again).
Looks at spike in replies.
That'll teach me to have an afternoon nap.
Thanks everyone for keeping me entertained!
Sean Murphy@snap2grid that only says to me we are rattling the cages of the billionaires.
Keep it up everyone!
Weekend EditorOoooh... now *there's* a thought: billionaires in cages!
Hunspirillen already@snap2grid I will add this to my bio 😈

I've always wanted to be part of a legion. 😈 🎉

Stoneface Vimes@snap2grid where can I sign on.
Matt HallPeter Theil shouldn't be listened to by _anyone_.
Also, I've been filling this role for over twenty years... Aren't legionnaires supposed to be able to retire after 20 years?
Like, I'm expecting a bit of land and at least a talent of gold so I can start my own family farm in the hills outside of Rome.
👀
Peter Theil's an asshole, that... That's clear, right?
Steggy@snap2grid I don’t know. I feel more like a “horde” than a legionnaire.
Andrew Deacon@snap2grid legionnaires of the Antichrist"¹ an we amend that to legionnaires of the anarchist" please?
Neo Ehproque@snap2grid here's a legionnaire, taking the antichrist for his morning's constitutional
Moss Wizard@ehproque @snap2grid bring back hats with face straps!
Philip Mallegol-Hansen@snap2grid I mean… I was perfectly content with being against AI for non-religious reasons.
But sure, I’m also anti Christian, that’s true.
Allpoints@snap2grid hail Satan?
Parade du Grotesque 💀It lacks a certain " je ne sais quoi".
I personally feel like I am more of a "Legionnaire of his Dark Majesty, Doombringer to the world, Despair incarnate, the Antichrist".
I mean Peter Thiel probably has a PR assistant, so it's up to us to defend the Antichrist and ravage AI. Right?

HighlandLawyer@snap2grid This is another of these "every accusation is a confession" ones, isn't it.
Ave! from this moose.
🇨🇦 Todd Bee <🖕🍊>@snap2grid What?
Peter Thiel said you can catch Legionnaire's Disease by using AI? It must be true.
Nefarious Celt@toddalio @snap2grid nope. But living next to an AI data centre. Highly likely.
UkeleleEric@toddalio @snap2grid this needs to go viral...
Franchesca@toddalio @snap2grid it’s because all the clean water gets used to cool AI data centers.

mirabilos@snap2grid that’s such a christian thing… 🤦 these eso fascists really pick their rhetorics from where they please.
@snap2grid I'm not really sure whether to be insulted (as a Christian), whether to rejoice that we've rattled him that much, or to take it as a revelation of him being what he accuses others of...
AnnieBuddyAnd Peter Theil went to which seminary?
Oh, right. Having billions makes you a god. I forgot. Sorry.
/s
We haven't been criticizing AI enough if he thinks of us as common legionnaires. I would have expected at least decanus status by now.
@snap2grid what if I'm not just a critic of AI, but of Peter Thiel, personally?
Does that at least promote me to an officer?

Paul Chambers🚧@snap2grid I feel more like a groupie of the antichrist than a legionnaire
jwz@snap2grid Hail Satan, but can we have a citation for this particular claim? Some searching shows him calling lots and lots of people legionnaires but I don't see AI critics specifically.

Logomancer@jwz Source seems to be this WaPo article from last October, when Thiel gave a four-part lecture series about the Antichrist at SF’s Commonwealth Club: https://archive.is/20251029084539/https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2025/10/10/peter-thiel-antichrist-lectures-leaked/ @snap2grid
(^^)@snap2grid That's bad ass. I had no idea I was that cool.
Aires@snap2grid "Every accusation is a confession" strikes again!
Ronan@snap2grid Last Week Tonight is really good 👏
Philippa Cowderoy@snap2grid And there was me thinking that was Uncle Sam's Misguided Children
Estarriol, Terrorist Dragonthe man worshipping the god of mana and who created a graven image is lecturing christians on the antichrist?
