AI isn't 'a nothing burger,' but won't end 'stagnation' in tech, says Peter Thiel
Briefly

Peter Thiel warns of a potential stagnation in technological innovation without the influence of AI, comparing its transformative potential to that of the internet. During an interview on The New York Times' "Interesting Times" podcast, he expressed skepticism that AI alone could solve ongoing stagnation problems, while acknowledging its role in creating companies and contributing to GDP. Thiel advocates for a bolder approach to technology investment, particularly in areas like space exploration and health advancements, indicating that a lack of progress could lead society to unravel.
I still think we should be trying AI, and that the alternative is just total stagnation.
If we don't find a way back to the future, I do think that society - I don't know. It unravels, it doesn't work.
