The work was an instant success, spending more than four years atop the London Sunday Times' best-seller list. Since its publication, it has sold millions of copies worldwide and been translated into more than into 200 languages .
You obviously are fucking stupid if you don't know what he was

oh yeah???
well the alky understood it on HIS first pass, AND he read it more quickly than you did. and with his superior intellect, photographic memory and outstanding oratory skills he'll be reciting verses from it from memory at his next strip mall drunks r us meeting.

Come the think of it, Roger's mind and black holes have much in common.
ARE WE HEADED TOWARD DISASTER OR A WORKERLESS PARADISE?
Hawking’s final Reddit post is going viral over its ominous warning about robots
Famed physicist Stephen Hawking died Tuesday at the age of 76, and before he departed this world, he left us with warnings that Earth is headed for a “catastrophic ending” in the near future.
This doom will not come from a fiery asteroid or even global warming, but from rising inequality fueled by increasingly smart robots, Hawking said.
“Intelligent future AI will probably develop a drive to survive and acquire more resources as a step toward accomplishing whatever goal it has, because surviving and having more resources will increase its chances of accomplishing that other goal,” he said in a Reddit Ask Me Anything forum in 2015. “This can cause problems for humans whose resources get taken away.” His solution? We should all leave the planet and find new lives in outer space.
His dire prediction came as robots and artificial intelligence increasingly take over human jobs, with some 800 million people around the world — including a third of the workforce in the U.S. — predicted to be out of jobs by 2030 because of automation, according to an eight-month study from the McKinsey Global Institute. Though Hawking often warned about the upcoming robot takeover, he noted technology could also produce new solutions.
“If machines produce everything we need, the outcome will depend on how things are distributed,” he wrote. “Everyone can enjoy a life of luxurious leisure if the machine-produced wealth is shared, or most people can end up miserably poor if the machine-owners successfully lobby against wealth redistribution.”
This philosophy has also been described as automated luxury communism: the idea that in a future in which labor is automated, machines will do work that profits people and those profits can be distributed amongst them equally. In such a post-work society, things like a 10-12 hour work week, a guaranteed social wage, guaranteed housing, universal education, and healthcare would be the norm, Aaron Bastani, author of “Fully Automated Luxury Communism,” set for release in September 2018, told the Guardian.
“There may be some work that will still need to be done by humans, like quality control, but it would be minimal,” he said.
He noted Uber as an example: now the company employs hundreds of thousands of drivers around the world, but it is anticipated to replace them with self-driving cars by 2030. Under the tenets of luxury communism, such services would be provided by the state rather than a private company, with profits being used to increase the standard of living for all.
Can AI improve the taste of kale? How AI and machine learning is changing the farming landscape. Some argue automation will not evolve to meet all of the needs of humans, or that the model of luxury communism isn’t environmentally sustainable. Hawking himself said the future didn’t seem bright for such a model.
“So far, the trend seems to be toward the second option, with technology driving ever-increasing inequality,” he said. Others say some form of shared wealth from automation is inevitable and already coming to fruition. In 2016, Swiss voters rejected an initiative to create a guaranteed minimal income on which to live, a concept that tech magnates like Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerburg have both promoted.
“A world of increasing abundance, even luxury, is not only possible, but likely,” Erik Brynjolfsson, author of “Second Machine Age,” a book on the rise of robots, said. “Many of things we consider necessities today – phone service, automobiles, Saturdays off – were luxuries in the past."
HAWKING: “If machines produce everything we need, the outcome will depend on how things are distributed. Everyone can enjoy a life of luxurious leisure if the machine-produced wealth is shared."
In a future in which labor is automated, machines will do work that profits people and those profits can be distributed amongst them equally.
In such a post-work society, things like a 10-12 hour work week, a guaranteed social wage, guaranteed housing, universal education, and healthcare --would be the norm.

Funny how some people seem to think that machines were invented to make us work harder and more, rather than more easily and less.
The farmer who rides his multi-thousand dollars worth of machinery doesn't worry in the least about all the former farm workers, blacks, migrants, etc. that machinery has replaced.
We have got to learn that unemployed should not be considered "obsolete."
In the past, mechanization has always create more jobs than it destroyed.
Because there were always things humans can do that machines can't.
That will not necessarily be true in the future. We are inventing out replacements.
And as far as humans living off the work of machines? What would the logical AI mind do with an entity that consumes energy and resources without contributing anything in return?
The logical action would be to destroy the parasite.

hawking had style. checks out on pi day (3.14); also einstein's birthday.
clever.
He was on Big Bang Theory a lot, too funny.
btw...
isn't today "national teenage drama queen crisis actor day."
It is, brought to you by #resistance and #womanmarch
Some of the tikes where right on issue.
USA, NRA ,KKK " Chant on
They were brainwashed well.
Nearly 50 students at Lakewood High School were among the teens protesting gun violence and calling on federal lawmakers to enact stricter gun laws.
The students walked out of their classrooms at noon and marched laps around the campus, chanting: “No NRA, No KKK, No fascist USA.”
The prop babies.

Sure you did.....You can't read anything above a third grade level....BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!
Hawking sure had an amazing mind and enjoyed laughing at himself....something most sycophants are incapable of doing....
So Dennis where does your rage come from.
Is it perhaps that you feel so intellectually inadequate that you can only make yourself feel better by dissing others?
Do you have the intellectual equivalent of a limp dick?
That's too bad.
Dennis, why do you think of other men and animals sexually all the time?
Shut up, KD. You add nothing to the discussion.
Nikki Haley has strongly criticized Russia for using prohibited chemical agents in assassinations.
But we haven't heard a mumblin' word from tepid Trump.

She did? When?
I did see she strongly criticized the Russians for the attempted assassinations using prohibited chemical agents.

Cue ANOTHER cut'n'paste SPAM storm from political_lire nobody gives a shit about
But we haven't heard a mumblin' word from tepid Trump.
Only because you don't want to hear.
Trump had said the United States was “with the U.K. all the way”.
Jane, do you have the names of the "assassinated" Russians?
James runs away when he's slapped upside the head with reality.

Hawking missed the nightmare scenario (James Cameron nailed it).
There's not going to be Asimov's three laws of robotics.
Man will develop killer robots as weapons of war. And if they become self-aware, God help up.
BTW AI Robots are better suited for space travel than humans. For a variety of reasons humans are earth bound.
HAWKING:
“If machines produce everything we need, the outcome will depend on how things are distributed. Everyone can enjoy a life of luxurious leisure if the machine-produced wealth is shared."
oh no! Republicans shout.

WE PREFER THE SECOND OPTION!!! Republicans shout.
wealth to the wealthy! Poverty to the poor!
LONG LIVE
AUTOMATED LUXURY COMMUNISM!!!!
In a future in which labor is automated,
machines will do work that profits people
and those profits can be distributed amongst them equally.
In such a post-work society, things like
a 10-12 hour work week,
a guaranteed social wage,
guaranteed housing,
universal education,

healthcare
