Ever looked at the website for the Founders Fund, Peter Thiel's VC fund? The homepage greets you with, "We wanted flying cars, instead we got 140 characters." It proceeds to cycle through their areas of interest, including machine intelligence, and aerospace. We're not even going to get into the Singularity Institute. Also, if this New Yorker profile is any indication, he would very much like to be immortal, or at least to extend his lifespan to whatever extent possible.
