Yanis Varoufakis, never short of an original statement, reports a hopeful mood even among the last remaining Marxists in China: capitalism will not survive AI, as the abundance of goods it creates will cause their exchange value to plummet — a prediction that, by the way, is very similar to the expectation recently expressed by Elon Musk to the "Economist"; perhaps the American billionaire will soon also be counted among the Chinese Marxists. #KünstlicheIntelligenz #China #TechnologieRisiken (translated)

Alexander Teske referred to a text by Raphaël Schmeller, who described the transition from Frank Plasberg to Louis Klamroth as a remarkable decline. Schmeller criticized that in a discussion about Bas' resignation, the focus had mainly been on the relationship between the CDU and SPD: whether the CDU had been too harsh on Bas, whether the SPD had criticized the Union too sharply, and whether joint government work would still be possible afterwards. According to Schmeller, politics had been treated like a difficult couple relationship, while concrete conflicts of interest surrounding pensions, social benefits, and labor market policy had been neglected. He wrote that pensioners collecting bottle deposits, single mothers, and employees fearful of social decline might feel that the discussion did not take them seriously. Instead, it was discussed in the studio whether an SPD politician could accuse the CDU of "inhumanity" in dealing with Bas, while millions of people were concerned about their future existence. Schmeller described the show as politics turning into a spectacle. #Politik #Gesellschaft #Medien (translated)

Emanuel Boeminghaus wrote that the current numbers from Audi and VW have overtaken the debate about the cut of 50,000, 100,000, or 150,000 jobs. For both companies, it has now become about their own survival. The decline is happening faster than the corporations can react, and it is costing companies of this size a lot of money, he explained. The unions can no longer demand anything but can only pray, Boeminghaus wrote. #Automobilindustrie #Arbeitsplätze #Wirtschaft (translated)
