Leak Exposes Members of Peter Thiel’s Secretive ‘Dialog’ Society
泄露事件曝光彼得·蒂尔秘密社团“Dialog”成员名单
A trove of internal records from a secret society for powerful figures in US politics, finance, and tech was left exposed online, WIRED has confirmed, naming participants in its events and revealing sensitive personal details they were assured would stay private. 《连线》(WIRED)证实,一份来自美国政界、金融界和科技界权势人物秘密社团的内部记录在网上泄露。该记录不仅列出了参与活动的人员名单,还披露了他们被承诺会保密的敏感个人信息。
The group, called Dialog, is a private, invitation-only organization cofounded in 2006 by the billionaire tech investor Peter Thiel. It convenes US officials, foreign government figures, and Silicon Valley executives at off-the-record annual retreats. Dialog has spent two decades declining to disclose its members. 这个名为“Dialog”的组织是一个仅限受邀者参加的私人团体,由亿万富翁科技投资人彼得·蒂尔(Peter Thiel)于2006年共同创立。该组织每年举行闭门年度静修会,召集美国官员、外国政府要员和硅谷高管参加。二十年来,Dialog一直拒绝公开其成员名单。
A directory in the website’s code was first revealed by the Swiss hacktivist maia arson crimew. Known for exposing the US government’s No Fly List and breaching the surveillance-camera company Verkada, crimew tells WIRED the directory surfaced via an anonymous tip. WIRED independently verified its contents. 网站代码中的一份目录最初由瑞士黑客活动家 maia arson crimew 披露。crimew 因曝光美国政府的“禁飞名单”并入侵监控摄像头公司 Verkada 而闻名,她告诉《连线》,该目录是通过匿名举报发现的。《连线》已独立核实了其内容。
A source separately provided WIRED with the registration list for Dialog’s 2026 retreat, which names 222 people and records what the list describes as each registrant’s membership status and attendee type, including “active member” and “guest.” The retreat is scheduled for August 12-16 at a venue near Dublin, Ireland. 另有消息人士向《连线》提供了Dialog 2026年静修会的注册名单,其中列出了222人,并记录了每位注册者的会员状态和参会类型(如“活跃会员”和“嘉宾”)。该静修会定于8月12日至16日在爱尔兰都柏林附近举行。
The same data lays out a program of off-the-record sessions, including: “Money (Does?) Buy Happiness,” “Bring Back Nuclear,” “Navigating WWIII,” “Battlefield Technologies,” and “How’s Your Sex Life?” Other talks include “Build-a-Cult,” moderated by the founder of the Christian networking site Pray.com, and “Build-a-Party,” run by a former White House national security official. 同一份数据还列出了闭门会议的议程,包括:“金钱(真的?)能买到幸福”、“重振核能”、“应对第三次世界大战”、“战场技术”以及“你的性生活如何?”其他讲座还包括由基督教社交网站Pray.com创始人主持的“建立邪教”,以及由一名前白宫国家安全官员主持的“建立政党”。
Together, alongside the mundane fare of a typical thought leadership conference, the documents show an extraordinary convergence of power. The registration records list General Alexus Grynkewich, NATO’s supreme allied commander Europe and the head of US European Command, who took the post in July 2025 and is recorded on the leaked list as having attended Dialog gatherings since 2021. 这些文件不仅包含了典型思想领袖会议的常规议题,还展示了一种非同寻常的权力汇聚。注册记录中列出了北约欧洲盟军最高司令兼美国欧洲司令部司令亚历克苏斯·格林凯维奇(Alexus Grynkewich)将军,他于2025年7月上任,而泄露名单显示他自2021年起就已参加Dialog的聚会。
The website directory names sitting Trump administration officials, two US senators, six members of the Paypal Mafia, a former Middle East chief of intelligence, and a sitting ambassador to the United States, along with the founders and directors of many of the country’s largest surveillance, data-broker, and advertising-data companies. 网站目录中还列出了现任特朗普政府官员、两名美国参议员、“PayPal黑帮”的六名成员、一名前中东情报主管、一名现任驻美大使,以及美国多家大型监控、数据经纪和广告数据公司的创始人和董事。
Those executives appear side by side with senior US officials overseeing their industries. Auren Hoffman, Dialog’s chairman, founded the location-data broker SafeGraph and the identity-resolution firm LiveRamp, two of the most important suppliers in the consumer data economy. He appears in the directory alongside Treasury secretary Scott Bessent, whose department writes the rules on financial data, and Senator Ted Cruz, chairman of the Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee, which oversees the Federal Trade Commission and its data-privacy authority. 这些高管与监管其行业的美国高级官员并列出现。Dialog主席奥伦·霍夫曼(Auren Hoffman)创立了位置数据经纪商SafeGraph和身份解析公司LiveRamp,这两家公司是消费者数据经济中最重要的供应商。他在目录中与财政部长斯科特·贝森特(Scott Bessent,其部门负责制定金融数据规则)以及参议员泰德·克鲁兹(Ted Cruz,负责监管联邦贸易委员会及其数据隐私权限的商务、科学和交通委员会主席)一同出现。
Palantir cofounder Joe Lonsdale, whose software runs case management for US Immigration and Customs Enforcement and data fusion for the Pentagon and intelligence community, is listed in the same society as Army secretary Dan Driscoll and Representative Jim Himes, the ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee, which oversees agencies Palantir contracts with. Palantir联合创始人乔·朗斯代尔(Joe Lonsdale)也被列入该社团,他的软件为美国移民及海关执法局提供案件管理,并为五角大楼和情报界提供数据融合服务。与他同在名单上的还有陆军部长丹·德里斯科尔(Dan Driscoll)和众议院情报委员会资深成员吉姆·海姆斯(Jim Himes),该委员会负责监管与Palantir签约的机构。
None of the individuals named in this story responded to requests for comment. Raffi Grinberg, who lists himself as Dialog’s executive director on his LinkedIn profile and is the author of the self-help book How to Be a Grown-Up, did not respond to a request for comment. 本文提到的所有个人均未回应置评请求。拉菲·格林伯格(Raffi Grinberg)在LinkedIn个人资料中自称是Dialog的执行董事,也是自助书籍《如何成为一个成年人》(How to Be a Grown-Up)的作者,他也没有回应置评请求。
The registration records appear to show not only who belongs to Dialog but who attends. Of the 222 people signed up for the 2026 retreat, according to the leaked records, 87 are marked as first-time attendees. Others list histories stretching back more than a decade, and a handful to the society’s founding 20 years ago. None of the registrants, Grynkewich included, used a government email address. All registered with personal or corporate accounts, placing their attendance outside the email systems subject to public-records laws. 注册记录不仅显示了谁是Dialog的成员,还显示了谁会参加活动。根据泄露的记录,在2026年静修会的222名注册者中,有87人被标记为首次参会。其他人则有长达十多年的参会记录,少数人甚至可以追溯到20年前该社团成立之时。包括格林凯维奇在内的所有注册者均未使用政府电子邮箱地址。他们全部使用个人或公司账户注册,从而使他们的参会记录避开了受公共记录法约束的电子邮件系统。
What ties the roster together more than any title or office is a shared preoccupation with artificial intelligence, longevity, and the near future. Asked on a sign-up form to predict the future, registrants returned again and again to the same theme: that AI will reorder work, war, education, and belief within a few years. 比起任何头衔或职位,将这份名单联系在一起的,是对人工智能、长寿和近未来的共同关注。在注册表格中被要求预测未来时,注册者们反复提到同一个主题:人工智能将在几年内重塑工作、战争、教育和信仰。
Several foresee mass labor displacement and a swing back toward unions and government programs; others predict an “AI winter,” domestic terrorism targeting data centers, criminal defendants choosing AI lawyers over public defenders, or religious revival provoked by the disruption. “Societal degeneration,” predicted one person, “will continue to accelerate.” 一些人预见到大规模的劳动力流失,以及向工会和政府项目的回归;另一些人则预测会出现“人工智能寒冬”、针对数据中心的国内恐怖主义、刑事被告选择AI律师而非公设辩护人,或者由这种颠覆性变革引发的宗教复兴。有人预测:“社会退化将继续加速。”
Members also list talents like “funhouse construction,” accent imitation, backcountry skiing, urban exploration, and “meditative and psychedelic inquiry into the nature of reality”; one offers “compassion and existential dread,” another “dinner parties, keeping secrets, remembering birthdays.” Their book recommendations skew toward the canonical and optimization-minded, Marcus Aurelius and Milan Kundera alongside Annie Duke’s Thinking in Bets, Peter Attia’s Outlive, and, from at least one attendee, Thiel’s own Zero to One. 成员们还列出了诸如“游乐屋建造”、模仿口音、野外滑雪、城市探索以及“对现实本质的冥想和迷幻探索”等才艺;有人提供“同情心和存在主义恐惧”,另有人提供“晚宴、保守秘密、记住生日”。他们的书单偏向经典和优化思维,既有马可·奥勒留和米兰·昆德拉的作品,也有安妮·杜克的《对赌》(Thinking in Bets)、彼得·阿提亚的《长寿》(Outlive),以及至少一位参会者推荐的蒂尔本人的《从0到1》(Zero to One)。
Dialog also plays matchmaker. Its participant form asks registrants whether they are “looking for love” and offers to include “Single Man,” “Single Woman,” or “Other” respondents in “future matchmaking.” A separate site, dating.dialog.org, hosts an app pitched as “meaningful connections for exceptional people.” Dialog还充当媒人。其参与者表格询问注册者是否“在寻找爱情”,并提议将“单身男性”、“单身女性”或“其他”受访者纳入“未来配对”。一个名为dating.dialog.org的独立网站托管着一款应用程序,宣传语为“为杰出人士建立有意义的联系”。
The form also gathers sensitive answers, including each registrant’s “political leaning,” which Dialog promises “WILL NOT be shared in the app or with other participants, ever.” That data, and the matchmaking responses, were exposed in the leak. 该表格还收集敏感答案,包括每位注册者的“政治倾向”,Dialog承诺这些信息“绝不会在应用程序中或与其他参与者共享”。然而,这些数据以及配对调查的回复都在此次泄露中被曝光。
The records sit in Airtable, a commercial database. For each participant, Dialog logs a membership status, every retreat the person has attended, a biogra… 这些记录存储在商业数据库Airtable中。对于每位参与者,Dialog都会记录其会员状态、参加过的每一次静修会、个人简介……
