Asked on a sign-up form to predict the future, registrants returned again and again to the same theme: that AI will reorder work, war, education, and belief within a few years. Several foresee mass labor displacement and a swing back toward unions and government programs; others predict an \u201cAI winter,\u201d domestic terrorism targeting data centers, criminal defendants choosing AI lawyers over public defenders, or religious revival provoked by the disruption.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">\u201cSocietal degeneration,\u201d predicted one person, \u201cwill continue to accelerate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Members also list talents like \u201cfunhouse construction,\u201d accent imitation, backcountry skiing, urban exploration, and \u201cmeditative and psychedelic inquiry into the nature of reality\u201d; one offers \u201ccompassion and existential dread,\u201d another \u201cdinner parties, keeping secrets, remembering birthdays.\u201d Their book recommendations skew toward the canonical and optimization-minded, Marcus Aurelius and Milan Kundera alongside Annie Duke\u2019s <em>Thinking in Bets<\/em>, Peter Attia\u2019s <em>Outlive<\/em>, and, from at least one attendee, Thiel\u2019s own <em>Zero to One<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Dialog also plays matchmaker. Its participant form asks registrants whether they are \u201clooking for love\u201d and offers to include \u201cSingle Man,\u201d \u201cSingle Woman,\u201d or \u201cOther\u201d respondents in \u201cfuture matchmaking.\u201d A separate site, <a data-offer-url=\"http:\/\/dating.dialog.org\" class=\"external-link text link\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;http:\/\/dating.dialog.org&quot;}\" href=\"http:\/\/dating.dialog.org\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">dating.dialog.org<\/a>, hosts an app pitched as \u201cmeaningful connections for exceptional people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">The form also gathers sensitive answers, including each registrant\u2019s &#8220;political leaning,\u201d which Dialog promises \u201cWILL NOT be shared in the app or with other participants, ever.\u201d That data, and the matchmaking responses, were exposed in the leak.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">The records sit in Airtable, a commercial database. For each participant, Dialog logs a membership status, every retreat the person has attended, a biography, a home city, and a private access token. WIRED is not publishing the tokens, which function as login credentials, or the personalized account links that contain them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">The leaked registration list also names senior figures absent from the public directory of 113: Randy Kroszner, a former governor of the Federal Reserve who now serves on the Bank of England&#8217;s Financial Policy Committee; Hallie Hoffman, a former general counsel and acting chief of staff of the Drug Enforcement Administration; Jonathan Greenblatt, the chief executive of the Anti-Defamation League; Peter Goettler, the president of the Cato Institute; Ryan Stowers, the executive director of the Charles Koch Foundation; and Roger Myerson, a Nobel laureate economist at the University of Chicago.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">It also lists a cluster of Google and Google DeepMind executives, among them Tom Lue, who leads global affairs for the company&#8217;s frontier AI division, and one working journalist, Souad Mekhennet, a national security correspondent for The Washington Post. (She is listed as running an event called \u201cUlysses Book Club.\u201d)<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">The rest of the membership spans hedge fund and private equity billionaires, current and former foreign officials, network television actors, best-selling authors, and religious leaders.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">One of several internal documents Dialog left exposed on the same online database that held its registration records is a guide for event moderators, urging them to remind participants that everything is \u201coff the record\u201d and that comments should be concise and \u201cnonobvious.\u201d It also coaches them to model brief introductions to \u201cavoid status signaling\u201d in a room full of senators, dignitaries, and tycoons.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/leak-exposes-members-of-peter-thiels-secretive-dialog-society\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What ties the roster together more than any title or office is a shared preoccupation with artificial intelligence, longevity, and the near future.
