Peter Thiel on AI:

There is a certain kind of high-tech totalitarianism being attempted in China.

It is not violent like Stalin or Mao or Hitler. You don't have to kill that many people, but it somehow knows more about you than you know about yourself.

There's something about it that we really don't want to be the model that wins.

It's hard when the big companies themselves tell you to stop and slow down.
