    Peter Thiel: The Architect of Dissidence | Money, Power and the Future of Silicon Valley

    Peter Thiel: The Architect of Dissidence | Money, Power and the Future of Silicon Valley Peter Thiel has spent his career betting against consensus. From PayPal and Facebook to Palantir, political campaigns and billion-dollar investments, his influence reaches far beyond Silicon Valley. This Moconomy documentary explores how Thiel turned contrarian thinking into a strategy for wealth and power. It follows his path from chess prodigy and failed trader to PayPal co-founder, Facebook’s first major outside investor and the driving force behind Palantir — one of the world’s most controversial data and surveillance companies. But Thiel’s story is also about something larger: the growing overlap between technology, government, finance and political influence. From funding candidates and defense technology to preparing a private refuge in New Zealand, his investments reveal a worldview shaped by competition, control and a deep distrust of conventional systems. Is Peter Thiel building the future — or preparing for a world in which the systems we know no longer hold? Want to keep exploring the billionaires, technologies and networks reshaping global power?

    Inside the Mind of Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei | AI, Power and the Exponential

    Inside the Mind of Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei | AI, Power and the Exponential What does it feel like to lead an AI company while the technology itself appears to be accelerating exponentially? In this wide-ranging conversation, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei discusses the rise of Claude, his departure from OpenAI, Anthropic’s battle to preserve its values while becoming one of the world’s leading AI companies, and the extraordinary economic and political consequences of increasingly powerful artificial intelligence. From coding and scientific discovery to job disruption, cybersecurity and AI-assisted warfare, Amodei confronts some of the hardest questions surrounding the technology his company is helping to build. Can AI deliver a century of scientific progress while avoiding mass unemployment? Should private companies control systems powerful enough to influence national security? And what limits should exist when AI moves from the workplace to the battlefield? At the center of it all is Amodei’s idea of the “smooth exponential” — a technological acceleration that he believes should neither be ignored nor met with panic, but managed with increasingly strong safeguards as AI becomes more capable. Want to go deeper into AI, power and the technologies reshaping the global economy?
