In truth, the great conflict over our megapolitical future is only just beginning. On the dimension of technology, the conflict has two poles: AI and crypto. Artificial Intelligence holds out the prospect of finally solving what economists call the “calculation problem”: AI could theoretically make it possible to centrally control an entire economy. It is no coincidence that AI is the favorite technology of the Communist Party of China. Strong cryptography, at the other pole, holds out the prospect of a decentralized and individualized world. If AI is communist, crypto is libertarian.
事实上，关于我们大政治的未来的巨大冲突才刚刚开始。在技术层面上，冲突有两极。人工智能和加密货币。人工智能带来了最终解决经济学家所说的 "计算问题 "的前景。理论上，人工智能可以使集中控制整个经济成为可能。人工智能是中国共产党最喜欢的技术，这并不是巧合。强密码学，在另一极，为一个去中心化和个性化的世界带来了前景。如果人工智能是共产主义的，那么密码学就是自由主义的。
