A leaked roster exposes a secretive elite club tied to Peter Thiel, which is unsettling news about how much power and strange thinking is concentrated among tech billionaires.

• Wired got a leak from Thiel's "Dialogue" society, where 200+ elites met for panels on building cults, sex, prepping for World War III, and AI.
• The guest list includes NATO's top commander in Europe, two US senators, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant, Ted Cruz, Cory Booker, Trump officials, and surveillance and data-broker bosses.
• Many of these people build and push AI, yet privately expect it to wreck jobs, education, and society — and some are buying bunkers or fleeing the country.
• The crowd is obsessed with living forever, longevity, and uploading their minds, treating tech almost like a religion.
• The takeaway: these billionaires are not geniuses, just lucky and good at one narrow thing, but they control the tech everyone uses, which makes them dangerous.

Outlook: Expect more scrutiny of how this tech elite shapes politics and AI policy while believing society may collapse.
