Outspoken PayPal founder Peter Thiel compared cryptocurrencies to libertarianism and artificial intelligence (AI) to communism during a public debate with LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman at Stanford University's Hoover Institute. Hoffman responded that it wasn't the camaraderie of university, but the fact that it was a period of life dedicating to growing and understanding. The two men were debating the future of technology in an online forum sponsored by the libertarian think tank Cato Institute, which has been criticized for its ties to Silicon Valley. In response, Hoffman said cryptos were anarchy while artificial intelligence was the rule of law.
