There is a point to using LLMs. They can save time by doing a first pass. But when they do the last pass, disasters will follow.

And your support for this "on the record in many ways" claim was a single quote, "I no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatible."

Are you basing your claim about Thiel's trustworthiness on a belief that only people with faith in democracy can be trustworthy?

Edit: For example, Tocqueville wrote, "Some have not feared to assert that a people can never outstep the boundaries of justice and reason in those affairs which are peculiarly its own; and that consequently full power may be given to the majority by which it is represented. But this is the language of a slave." Do you find him untrustworthy now?

Edit: Also, that quote does not provide evidence that he is "on the record" saying he would abuse access or make health or security worse.

Thiel is on the record saying he would use the data to make health and security worse? On the record saying he would abuse access? AFAICT this is not true.

My original post was a joke about this.

"There was a significant drop-off in entries to the United States in 2025 relative to 2024 and an increase in enforcement activity leading to removals and voluntary departures. We estimate that net migration was between –10,000 and –295,000 in 2025, the first time in at least half a century it has been negative."
