> "automation is inductive proof that Marx was wrong"

He really said that? Plugging it into Google yields no results.

That's a really dumb thing to say, a very tech billionaire misunderstanding of Marx.



He did, in a now deleted tweet. He verifies the screenshots veracity in the replies. https://twitter.com/IlariKaila/status/1600120645211201536


Yeh I just saw it screenshotted on Twitter. Damn, so dumb. Graham once again getting too high on his own thought-leadership.


"You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain."


When was he the hero?


Which is hilarious, because one of Marxism's core tenets is that new technologies and industrialization lead to the deskilling of workers, resulting in the need for fewer of them.

Probably why PG deleted his original tweet and rewrote it.


He said he deleted it because mentioning Marx “attracts angry fools”, so if you’re right, his attempt to save face is hilarious.
