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)

The author said they had resigned because, unlike the prime minister, they had not backed down.
