    So if I’m getting this right, dialog was founded in 2006 and have had it’s member list be a secret up until now, where someone discovered an open directory listed in their website’s source code.

    I know these are idiotic nepo babies we’re talking about, but this isn’t exactly some random dude’s vibecoded slop website. Am I crazy for thinking this was deliberate?

      It absolutely could be.

      Does Peter Thiel have enemies? Is there something to be gained by making this information public? Absolutely.

      Is the information out here because this super secret society didn’t trust anyone with basic experience to build a proper website? :-/

      Yes. This is the “my enemy never makes mistakes” reasoning of conspiracy theorists.

        Idk man, with all the shit going on it wouldn’t surprise me if they needed more fuel for the media distraction circus or something. But sure, they could have just vibecoded without double checking, who knows.

          Yes. People massively fuck up all the time just to create a “media circus”. As though Peter Thiel would have any trouble doing that in any other way.

          Jesus, do you hear yourself?

            Peter Thiel probably isn’t the only one with access, but still, it was only an example, with all the rich pedophiles being blackmailed nothing surprises me anymore.

            Anyway, I’m done arguing here, I only come here to shitpost while on the toilet.
