Stephen Hawking Says We Should Really Be Scared of Capitalism, Not Robots

This is true. And it's already becoming a reality. You can see a lot of "stupid" managers in corporations being incredibly wealthy compared to some talented technicians that actually do stuff for them. The only thing these managers are good at is pushing idiotic processes to corporate system and hoarding money.

Arguably, the only thing they're good at is convincing the board (and through them, the shareholders) that they're worth their high valuation. Also arguably, this is all they need to do in a capitalist system.

I read this article and it seemed to say we should be scared of capitalism AND robots. The title to this post seems to not completely match what I read. Any body else see that as well?

Also, I started thinking about how everything we need being made for us by robots was an odd concept. I have found that at my core I have a need to connect with other beings and enrich my life and the life of others by doing something creative, inspiring, collaborative, or just connecting on a fundamental level by sharing experiences with others.

Hawking sure is a fan of making apocalyptic predictions these days.
