Peter Thiel: Capitalism Isn't Working for Young People

Yeah it's fair. AI bubble has created a frozen economy and sucked out all the capital. I don't feel connected or invested. I would vote to burn it all down, vote in the craziest person you can. Wreck this place. If they won't let you rise higher, drag them down so they can get a taste of the dirt.
blowsand•3mo ago
Yikes.
zerosizedweasle•3mo ago
You know it's true though. It's not like there are opportunities and people aren't taking them. The economy is ice because the only things getting significant capital are data centers. Data centers don't employ and create careers for a lot of people. AI is killing off entry level positions.
toomuchtodo•3mo ago
It's not AI, it is the illusion of AI while companies keep doing wave after wave of layoffs and offshore to maintain stock performance. Organizing, unionizing, and having more power against management and companies is the only way to prevent this legally. The beatings will continue till the stock performance improves.

https://www.theregister.com/2025/10/01/ai_isnt_taking_people...

> Yale researchers say that despite the anxiety about AI taking people's jobs, there's very little evidence of it actually happening. Economists with Yale's Budget Lab, a non-partisan policy research group, took a look at how US employment has changed since the November 2022 debut of ChatGPT and the sequent release of other generative AI models. They saw nothing to be alarmed about. "Overall, our metrics indicate that the broader labor market has not experienced a discernible disruption since ChatGPT’s release 33 months ago, undercutting fears that AI automation is currently eroding the demand for cognitive labor across the economy," said Martha Gimbel, Molly Kinder, Joshua Kendall, and Maddie Lee in a report summary.

Report: https://budgetlab.yale.edu/research/evaluating-impact-ai-lab...

https://www.remotelabor.ai/

> While AI systems have saturated many existing benchmarks, we find that state-of-the-art AI agents perform near the floor on RLI. The best-performing model achieves an automation rate of only 2.5%. This demonstrates that contemporary AI systems fail to complete the vast majority of projects at a quality level that would be accepted as commissioned work.

If we were living a hundred years earlier, a lot of people would be hanging from lamp posts.

The only things preventing this from happening today is knowing the FBI can do their job fairly well. Reasonable people don't want to sit in cage for doing what must be done.

That's not the only thing, not even in the USA. The New Deal happened, and things were a lot worse before it than they are even now for those entitled to SNAP payments — though of course, if SNAP stays off the way I suspect it will, and if the undocumented agricultural workers stay out of the USA, this may change very hard and very fast, and those invented stories about "immigrants eating pets" may turn into actual true stories about ICE agents being cannibalised, thanks to how hunger works and how the 2nd amendment seems to be part of the American New New Testament with Gospels According to John, Ben, Alex, and Tom.

How Thiel knew is he has had access scholars and others saying this for years. He's seen the social media posts cheering on Luigi.

Rather than agree years ago, he rolled with capitalism. Now he's trying to fix his image.

Mamdani win. Boomers politicians that protect him retiring from politics, glitching out on TV, or dying in power. GenX being skipped over for leadership as they're all stuck in the 90s. He's got to ingratiate himself on a youthful majority taking over or end up dangling from the gallows.

He's not prescient. He's an opportunist.

UncleMeat•3mo ago
He isn't trying to fix his image. He is trying to leverage dissatisfaction towards an authoritarian revolution where he and his rich asshole friends can consolidate total power over society and he can crush the people that he hates.

He is doing "liberal capitalism is bad, fascism is better."

tekbruh9000•3mo ago
That requires people feel he is trustworthy, so he thinks (I don't believe him) this rhetorical pivot is essential to earn youth trust.

They all been doing this; Zuckerberg with his Macklemore style update.

Not sure I get the pearl clutching over surveillance state; look at social media being used to cancel. Journalism and its history of reaching into everyone's lives. Religion's history. Self organizing groups surveilling the population are normal.

Everyone is a self selecting biology out to demonize and denigrate, insulate itself with prestige. In the end all of it is some form of randos trying to surveil and track people. The one exception I make is healthcare, spread of illness. The rest is mostly self aggrandizing nonsense.

First worlders with zero obligation to engage in manual labor to serve their biological survival have little to do but hallucinate up crimes, sins, immoral behavior perpetrated by others.

The only people we should be canceling and harassing are in Congress. Yet purity competitions about powerless neighbors rule Main Street. The American social cult is nothing but hypocritical randomly existing meat suits abusing 12-13 year olds in third world textiles sweatshops; from billionaire class down to retail cashier.

> look at social media being used to cancel

These days, whenever someone mentions "cancel culture" like it's new, I just think of all the old culture that got cancelled owing to a lack of popularity, like the original series of Star Trek… or even further back, Catholicism.

The difference social media brings is not with the cancellation, it's that it caused us to live in Andy Warhol's future where everyone has their own 15 minutes of fame.

>Here, then, is the issue. The gospel of Christ says that progress comes from every individual merging his individuality in sympathy with his neighbors. On the other side, the conviction of the nineteenth century is that progress takes place by virtue of every individual's striving for himself with all his might and trampling his neighbor under foot whenever he gets a chance to do so. This may accurately be called the Gospel of Greed.

--Charles Sanders Peirce

Peter Thiel is backing up Vice-President J.D. Vance which if elected will make Trump look like a reasonable democratic guy.

https://theconversation.com/friday-essay-libertarian-tech-ti...

I see Peter Thiel destroying the current democratic and capitalistic system to offer freedom which will turn out to be actually a big dictatorship.

J.D. Vance and all his religious rightneouss would turn The Handmaid's Tale religious dictatorship dystopia into a nightmare turned reality.
