OK, so I just learned elsewhere that there's a secret group run by Peter Thiel (https://dialog.org/) for fancy people who want to be able to talk to each other 'off the record'.

Friends. If you go to the website, and open 'developer tools' in your browser, go to 'inspector' and drill down in the dom you will find a plain text list of members of this group.

There are something like 113 fancy people.

I will list them in this thread.

Dialog

leaders join Dialog to discuss topics off-the-record

@amyfou PLAIN TEXT? LOL.

@ai6yr @amyfou They're actually all in the "directory-card" section of index-BO5d259a.js which is pulled into the main index page without requiring a login, and not obfuscated. So much winning. And whyTF is Cory Booker in there?

(I wonder, are these meant to be conversations with actual people, or could these be LLM personality simulations?)

(Nope, not simulated. https://www.wired.com/story/leak-exposes-members-of-peter-thiels-secretive-dialog-society/ )

Leak Exposes Members of Peter Thiel’s Secretive ‘Dialog’ Society

More than 200 of the world's elites registered for a retreat whose agenda runs from panels on cult-building and sex to prepping for World War III. An associated app offers matchmaking.

@linuxandyarn @ai6yr @amyfou is it me or did this just get fixed silently? I can't find it anymore
@pcy I can still see it on the login page
