Peter Thiel: You Know Who Else Wants to Regulate AI? The Antichrist

Fun fact: Billionaire PayPal, Founders Fund, and Palantir co-founder Peter Thiel, when he’s not busy exerting his ghastly influence over the U.S. government, moonlights as a touring theorist and lecturer on Christianity, the end times, and the antichrist.

Thiel and his team have tried to create an air of secrecy around the ‘Antichrist’ lectures, which began with a 2025 series in San Francisco. Thiel’s complete lack of qualifications to speak on theology, of course, pale in comparison to his fame and wealth. So the lectures expanded to Paris and Rome and are now ongoing as a four-part, $100-per-ticket lecture series in Nashville. On Thursday, Calder McHugh of Politico’s Decoded newsletter obtained recordings of Thiel attacking former President Barack Obama and the pope at the first two Nashville events over AI.

The central thesis of this round of talks, Politico wrote: government attempts to regulate AI are evil. Politico’s quotes from the events show that Thiel seemed intent on pushing the antichrist-as-AI-safety-advocate angle.

“Many people know that AI is politically unpopular, and want to leverage that to boost their own popularity,” Thiel told attendees. “Both Obama and the pope fall into this category. Obama knows the Democrats have no ideas, but they can at least oppose AI.”

S. conservatives.
