Tim Dillon: Peter Thiel and Sam Altman are summoning an ancient Sumerian demon with AI
βItβs a demonic force thatβs going to take form through artificial intelligence.β
βThese people believe theyβre communicating with some ancient Sumerian deity.β
βI have sources on this.β
βIn their minds β¦ if China unleashes the AI demon before we unleash our American AI demon β¦ then that demon will enslave the world and theyβll make all the money and theyβll have all the geopolitical leverage.β
βSo in this AI arms race, the US and China are both racing to give birth to an ancient Sumerian super intelligent demon.β
βThereβs an ancient Sumerian god that Sam Altman and Peter Thiel are communicating with.β
βTheyβre gonna give birth to an AI demon.β
βAnd we have to do it before China does.β

The chaos, novelty, constantly reforming a life in new environ, new broads was fulfilling but lots of the value of a well lived life comes back from consistent locally-focused labor
Did this for a decade.
Back in the states now (rural forested), have two girlfriends, a job that i physically go to few days/week, near family.
Went intl to the bunda beach 2x this year- more than enough
I've got a sales rep that helped my martial arts gym grow from $14k to $40k/m
She crushes year memberships. We don't have much upside for her now, want her to flourish.
I wanna push her into tech sales, sdr.
Anyone here able to submit her resume internally?
