Stephen Hawking's final words to the internet: robots aren't the problem, capitalism is

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, or most people can end up miserably poor if the machine-owners successfully lobby against wealth redistribution. So far, the trend seems to be toward the second option, with technology driving ever-increasing inequality. - Stephen Hawking

What a waste of final words

Fortunately, Hawking was wealthy enough to afford the machine that translated his physical energy into words, otherwise we’d have been deprived of his final words.
Glad you participated in the capitalist system, Stephen.

Such an odd statement.
Machines made it possible for him to communicate.
Not unlike the gun-control debate, people operate technology, not vice versa.
RIP, Mr. Hawking.

So we agree, capitalism it is!

So.
He admits he is a communist as his last words?
Bold move.

He didn't argue against capitalism you tart

Too bad R2-D2 with horrible teeth didnt believe in God or his last words might have been something worth remembering like "Oh God I'm blowing your whore pussy full of cum"

The dude was brilliant, but he had a weak understanding of economics and of human nature.
He should have spent a few hours talking to Dr. Jordan Peterson to round out his education.

He spent his entire life surrounded by academia, that will eventually poison your intellect no matter how large it is.

Good thing he stuck with physics and didn't go into economics.
