Stephen Hawking is in agreement with Ray Kurzweil.

They only disagree on the time line. Ray Kurzweil believes it will happen in 14 years.

Cool - let ‘em take over for me. They can pay my taxes, cut my grass and deal with all these liberal idiots, while they’re at it...

Take 2:

"When that happens, we need to make sure the computers have goals aligned with ours.”

Oh, oh... if they're programmed by the same clowns who developed climate change algorithms, we're in big trouble...

If AI gets control, they’re going to have little use for humanity, especially the groups committing mayhem on a daily basis. Might end up having a Butlerian Jihad a few thousand years ahead of time.

When one considers how far we have advanced in both medical and computer technology in just the past 25 years, I can’t imagine what life will be like a hundred years from now.........I’d sure like to be around to see it.

How do we know it has not already happened in his case? We just think it was Hawking that said this. Maybe what we think is Hawking is just a blob of non-sentient flesh and bone - the computer took over long ago.

Unplug it I say.

No its real. Check out this new computer chip that NASA, Google and Lockheed Martin has put on the F-35 jets. It does 9 million calculations a second. That’s not even 1/1000 of a single percent of the new chip power.

The quantum chip. Compared to an iPad Air which has up to 1 billion Transistors (think of each transistor as doing a single job). The Quantum chip is 2 to the 300th power of the 1 Billion transistor chip.

Here is another way to look at it. If microchips kept doubling ever 12 months, aka Moore’s law, how many years would it take to get to the 1st Quantum chip? The answer is over 6000 years. That is the great leap we are about to take and why guys like Ray Kurzweil (M.I.T. grad and Google Director of Engineers) is saying.

Anyhow here is who has the first generation Quantum Chip from D Wave. The F-35 has a quantum chip. NASA and Google have it too. It’s still in its infant stages. It should be released to the public in 9 years.

It will change the world. Much like electricity did and like the silicon chip.

Hawking is a huge liberal/marxist.

Notice that all these liberals do is behave like chicken littles, “global warming will destroy the world” . that's another lie as global warming is a hoax.

Liberals say Everything is going to kill you or is bad for you or will destroy the world :oil ,coal ,global warming,sugar salt ,caffiene, fast food,eggs( oh not anymore ), trans fat, ozone layer, computers, "AI", blah blah blah. remember the soda ban? the DMAA ban, the ephedra ban, the war on coal.

It's all to keep people scared and weak and begging the gov for help
