Peter Thiel the guy that believes that the literal biblical antichrist is walking amongst us? How much rational thought can one really expect from this guy? I am not questioning AI being a good investment or not, I am questioning this dude's sanity

No he doesn’t believe that the literal biblical Antichrist is walking amongst us. Uncharitable take

Pretty sure he said exactly that. If you think the quote is taken out of context feel free to add that here.

He maybe wouldn’t commit that it is currently, but he’d absolutely commit to the idea that the literal biblical Antichrist will exist and will walk among us, and might be already.

This is exactly the same level as insane as thinking the Antichrist actually does walk among us today.

I mean, sometimes if it look like a crazy person and quacks like a crazy person, it’s a crazy person.

Not everything is some great 4d chess conspiracy; sometimes people just believe completely irrational stuff.
