A Peter Thiel-funded startup launched this month will use an “AI jury” to “subject the media’s claims to systematic investigation and judgment.” That same system of AI adjudication assigns a numerical value — the so-called “Honor Index” score — grading the trustworthiness of individual reporters.
Hey appreciate the article, but you could do more to point out the arbitrariness of AI argumentation. These things are trained to produce "convincing-sounding" verbiage regardless of any truth or factual backing which they're not capable of judging consistently or unbiased. They are bullshit machines. While sometimes a useful shortcut every utterance must be taken with a grain of salt because every fifth tends to be completely wrong and made up. Let's talk about the absolute abusive contempt these VCs have for common people trying to convince them that AI can be an appropriate arbiter of ANY human dispute. Incredibly dangerous and wrong and just shows the depraved evil and manipulation they regularly do out in the open.
Awwww, poor hemotional manbaby billionaire narcissists are upset that the news people were mean to them and they can't DARVO their way out of it with their wealth hoard so they have to buy another solution. Wah wah womp womp, how tragic.
We already have this, but it's not AI, it's Snopes. What a farce these people are. Why doesn't Thiel do something positive for the planet with his money, vs. trying to control everything and everyone? They are shoving AI down our throats at every turn. I'm already tired of it.
All of this is billionaires trying to find something to do with their very expensive but worthless investment. Strong theranos vibes. Hopefully all these assholes will see the inside of a prison for fraud someday.
Maybe. Someday. AI will serve a real purpose, but they are pushing out and forcing it on all of us before it's ready. And if we have to use up all our energy and water and pollute our land, then there's not a good enough reason to do it. Fuck 'em. It's not a smart trade-off. Just like racing to get to Mars while destroying Earth is also a really stupid and arrogant project. Earth, the planet that we absolutely know allowed for the human race, should always come first. And musk and the other billionaires should pay for their dick-measuring projects themselves.
We need to stop using the preferred language of these malicious billionaires. These large language models are artificial but in no way intelligent. Let’s not talk about AI. Let’s be accurate and call them LLM.
The claim that “model diversity cancels blind spots” should be treated with extreme skepticism. Multiple models trained on overlapping public data, aligned through similar safety processes, and prompted within the same evidentiary frame do not become an independent jury. They can become a chorus with different fonts.
AI is programmed by humans, humans have bias, conscious & unconscious. Read “genius makers” & I think you’ll get a clearer understanding. This is why the “ethical & moral” in the AI executive level, leave the big tech CO’s, & sound the alarm. The evaluation of people “emotion” is a fundamental & critical aspect, of the legal system, along with being under oath, in front of a jury of your peers. If you throw enough money into the writing of any AU program, you can get it to deliver the result, in the skewed way you want. If a tool is needed for “real” news broadcasting, create an open-source consortium of all aspects of the “news” & reporting media, & fund the me tell! For me, the more I understand about what AI actually delivers me, the more easier it is to see, its designed level of abuse. So Teil, put your algorithms up for open public scrutiny, without that, keep spending your disgusting money on things that no one will use.
This is crazy. Everyone needs to see this — and then dedicate themselves to taxing billionaires out of existence. They use their money to create systems designed to harm others without accountability. Enough.
or billionaire pædophiles & predator-pals of the Epstein class, eager to buy / bribe their way out of the Epstein files by paying billions of dollars in bribes to the Trump family.
The reason Peter Thiel went after gawker was because Gawker was closing in on what Thiel and Jeffery Epstein were up to
Gawker was on the cusp of exposing things about Epstein & Thiel , things that have now been revealed in the Epstein files : that Thiel was aware of Epsteins trafficking crimes, Thiel was on the pedo island and was on the pedo NM Zorro Ranch
While the attack on the press is hair-raising, their propaganda is also very much in the standard AI-company style of bullshit about the wonders the infallible computers will give the world.
I notice Grok isn't on the "jury"--that would kind of give the game away even more. But the very existence of Grok makes it crystal clear that billionaire-build AI systems are never going to be "neutral"--certainly not on the subject of billionaires. The same way Google's search isn't neutral and social media's algorithms about what to promote aren't neutral. What a massive scam.
Oh, and I couldn't help laughing at the idea that journalists should be giving away the identities of their anonymous sources . . . to Peter Thiel! Sure, giving the Palantir guy your secrets sounds TOTALLY safe!!!
There’s a very specific species of intelligence in this country: the kind that can price derivatives, rewire governments, and fund moonshots—yet somehow cannot detect that half the population hears your name and thinks, “Oh, this guy again.”
Peter Thiel walks into the room and doesn’t realize he’s no longer a person—he’s a vibe. A very specific one. Slightly apocalyptic. Mildly villain-coded. The kind of energy that makes people check if the exits are still open.
And then—this is the part that deserves to be studied clinically—he builds an AI jury.
An AI jury.
As if the problem with public trust was a lack of computation.
As if Americans were sitting at home thinking, “You know what would really restore faith in justice? A black box funded by the one guy we already think is building the final boss level.”
No. The second his name is attached, the whole thing doesn’t become “an AI jury.” It becomes “Peter Thiel’s AI jury,” which is less a judicial instrument and more a trailer for a dystopian miniseries.
It’s branding, but involuntary. Like a curse.
Same genre with Bari Weiss leading CBS. She doesn’t just take the helm of an institution; she relabels the container. You don’t watch CBS anymore—you watch “whatever CBS has become now that Bari Weiss is in charge of it.” The network doesn’t host her. It gets… Weiss-ified. Light seasoning of grievance, a hint of intellectual TED Talk energy, and suddenly the whole thing feels like it’s auditioning for its own Substack.
And the audience just quietly leaves.
That’s the missing organ here: self-awareness.
Not intelligence. Not power. Not reach.
Just the basic, almost peasant-level instinct of realizing: “Oh. People don’t experience me the way I experience myself.”
Because once you lose that, you start thinking you’re building tools.
But you’re not.
You’re building monuments to your own PR problem—and then acting surprised when nobody wants to worship there.

Machines are going to judge us. Humanity is subjugated to technology if we let these technofascists have their way.

..or when they call large odious stupid wasteful accursed AI data center a “campus “
