Physicist Stephen Hawking, who some have suggested is a conspiracy in and of himself, is now claiming we need “some form of world government” to protect us from the escalation of technology and artificial intelligence.
“Since civilisation began, aggression has been useful inasmuch as it has definite survival advantages,” he told The Times. “It is hard-wired into our genes by Darwinian evolution. Now, however, technology has advanced at such a pace that this aggression may destroy us all by nuclear or biological war. We need to control this inherited instinct by our logic and reason.” … “The real risk with AI isn’t malice but competence,” Professor Hawking said. “A super intelligent AI will be extremely good at accomplishing its goals, and if those goals aren’t aligned with ours, we’re in trouble. “You’re probably not an evil ant-hater who steps on ants out of malice, but if you’re in charge of a hydroelectric green energy project and there’s an anthill in the region to be flooded, too bad for the ants. Let’s not place humanity in the position of those ants.”

Die already you frickin loon you ain’t no Einstein
Yes think of it as Hitler’s final solution on steroids
This is the guy who thinks the universe created itself.
Trust me, I do not need a Won World Gov’t.
Brian May of Queen has a doctorate in astrophysics. When talking politics, he sounds no better informed than Rosie O’Donnell.
We’re already there with cell phones. A word to the Hawk:
Get off the phone and drive!
Ironic that he was once the guest star on the Simpsons, where mensa takes over society because they wanted the world to be run by smart people. But they promptly run civilization into the ground and give up.
You cant even be sure its the guy in the chair making the computer talk. Probly some kind of ‘think tank’ full of “brainiacs” speaking through his decreped presence to garner sympathy in his intellectual plight.
People killed by socialist/communism....an estimated 94,000,000
Now which one is the real threat?
Does he still have the wife/nurse who digs the hamburger out of his throat because he trys to swallow it whole. I read that somewhere. What a lousy job. Maybe he can get a robot to do it...
Technology will destroy us? Where would YOU be without it? A lot quieter, that is for sure. So speak for yourself, dude. I don’t need a world government.
Were it not for his handicap, he wouldn’t be noticed.
Wrong!
I am hopeful that when the robots become self - aware, it includes a sense of humor. Then they will be more likely to keep us around for their amusement.
Much learning doth make thee mad, Stephen.
He had some big HATE GOD fit about 5 years ago.
I hate his guts, now.
I heard he has a real Strip Club hobby.
“Guy’s a huge socialist/atheist. Not surprising.”
Unfortunately, he doesn’t restrain socialism within the boundaries of nationhood. For him, it has to be imposed upon the world.......Soooo many soft-faced tyrants on the Left.
He’s beginning to remind me of a peculiar version of Dr. Strangelove
Amen. IMO, the whole Hawking thing is nothing but a scam. Kinda like weekend at Bernies. They roll the guy around and some Marxist speaks for him.
