The “Chief Technology Officer” using words like “secularists” – and “God-shaped hole”, is ridiculous pandering moments.
Thiele’s companies ALL depend HEAVILY on AI – especially their facial recognition software that’s used to identify citizens from migrants in nations around the world.
All of this fluff about religion is to try to eliminate the competition. It’s no different from Musk wavering from being “anti-AI” (*when it’s everybody else using it) to pro-AI – when it’s one of his companies doing it. It’s throwing shade at the competition so they become the only major AI players left.
Same as “we need to restrict AI” – no, they want to shut-the-doors to further AI competition leaving the 6 or 7 biggies the only players allowed to play the field
