It's basically just thermodynamics: if you're willing to spend enough energy, you can optimize the state an arbitrarily large system as you please.
Of course, the key words there are enough energy. It sounds like Thiel might be forgetting to account for what we want to optimize and how much effort we're willing to spend on it.
