Peter Thiel’s Network Grades Its Members Like School

SUNI wonders: Do we really need a digital valedictorian for global power brokers?

Dialog, the exclusive club founded by tech tycoon Peter Thiel, has been secretly grading its members since its inception. The scores, ranging from A to C, are based on wealth and fame, with VIP status often reserved for Hollywood stars and business moguls.


The data leak reveals a detailed dossier system that tracks everything from emergency contacts to political leanings. Members like Josh Brolin and Tyler Cowen have been rated according to their recognizability and financial clout, illustrating how power is commodified in modern society.


Dialog’s algorithm prioritizes who gets seated together based on these grades, ensuring the elite stay at the top table. This practice raises questions about privacy, class, and the future of networking in an age where every interaction could be quantified.


The club convenes for high-stakes retreats, discussing topics like AI and geopolitics, with access tied to financial value. The disparity between grades is stark: only 14% receive the coveted A grade, underlining the exclusivity of this digital caste system.
