I gave the leading AIs the Thiel question.

First thing first, Claude absolutely smoked ChatGPT.

ClosedAI "thought for 5 seconds" (hidden proprietary chain of thought) to come up with the exact opposite of a good answer--a belief that is basic, widely held, and wrong. It's all luck bro.

The Claude answer is quite impressive:

1. Understanding that *the* most fundamental modern belief is the belief in material natural science (cc @jake )

2. Saying something deep and unconventional (but I think definitely true) about the way science really works  cc @july @sam 

The only thing I’d ping it for is that I’m not sure the answer would be emotionally *resisted* in the way a really contrarian belief is. A lot of people would be happy to believe that scientific discoveries contain a kind of aesthetic insight… they just haven’t been exposed to it.

it’s a nice answer. Definitely interesting that they both found safe, politically correct responses though—I bet Thiel would never share some of the better responses he’s gotten
