This is probably the worst interview ever. It makes me want to cringe. Hawking is going batshit insane as well, he's not even answering the questions directly.

one interesting thing about stephen hawking is that if he lived in britain, the socialized national health service would basically death panel him without thinking twice.

>> No.1736137

yeah, it takes him SUPER long to answer a question in real time.


literally like 5 minutes to type that shit up, even for a very short response.


I saw him at a lecture at the KITP at UCSB and some fucking chink post doc asked him a seriously stupid question.

he asked him about some random ass conference or paper he wrote from the 1970s...


hawking spent 5 minutes before his grad/post doc helper dude said he couldnt answer the question and had to end it.

wait...he has to type everything out? I thought the computer was directly wired to his brain to interpret his thoughts? (That's why he has to push the button, so he controls which thoughts are translated)

>I thought the computer was directly wired to his brain to interpret his thoughts?
Nope, we have yet to master such technology successfully. I was always told that his machine was directed at his throat (because you can wiggle it to produce certain audio phonemes [words and misc. vocalization] without actually moving your mouth) and it reads what sounds he utters from there.

We ARE to the point where a person's focus on a word can be translated directly into a picture, but the picture sucks ass at this point.

definitely not connected to the brain. honestly, to connect even extremely basic and limited electronics to the brain requires significant brain surgery and will result in exposed wires coming out of the skull


there are at least a handful of deaf/blind people with various degrees of brain/electronic interfaces.


in all cases, however, the interface is suuuper basic (like a blind person being able to see like 10 pixels, while a fucking fist full of wires are coming out of the back of their skull).


not a chance of interpereting words with current technology.
I honestly dont know what he used to control shit at the lecture I went to.


All I know is that he did the lecture in the synthesized voice, and every slide required 5-10 minutes because he had to stop, type (or possibly choose from prepared audio files) the next round of words, then repeat.

it was like

1 minute of words
1 minute of silence
1 minute of words
1 minute of silence

for like 2 hours.
