I agree with your comment, but just a minor point: has Thiel made it clear that his bunker is to protect against potential AGI threats? I thought it's insurance for nuclear warfare.
You’re right. It was just a kind of loose association and it’s not related to or important for the core point of my comment.
Just as a subjective thing, the bunker doesn’t strike me well. If peter is advocating anything that has the potential to upset the global economy/global order then it should be him to stick his hand in the proverbial hole first; but apparently he’s going to let us do it while he watches from the safety of his bunker.
A bunker might help with the initial destabilization caused by AI but it would of course not help him if one of the more horrible outcomes were to transpire.
