#stephen-wolfram — Public Fediverse posts

🤯 Stephen Wolfram's tome is a celestial journey into his own ego, where every page morphs into a love letter to his genius, and the rest of the universe just takes notes. 📚🌌 Beware: you may emerge from this book wearing a tinfoil hat, convinced you're now a minor deity in Wolfram's cosmic opera. 🚀🤡

Stephen Wolfram: New Features Everywhere: Launching Version 14.3 of Wolfram Language & Mathematica. “Version 14.2 launched on January 23 of this year. Now, today, just over six months later, we’re launching Version 14.3. And despite its modest .x designation, it’s a big release, with lots of important new and updated functionality, particularly in core areas of the system. I’m […]

🤯🧠 In a shocking revelation, it turns out that being smarter might not actually involve just inflating our cranial capacity. 🤔💡 Stephen Wolfram, the wizard of verbose verbosity, imagines a world where we all have Einstein's brain, but forgets to ask: who'll do the laundry? 🤷‍♂️💭

Stephen Wolfram spends an eternity pondering the profound lessons of a digital ant farm 🚜🐜, proving once and for all that the true secret to #innovation is #procrastination through endless #simulation 🤖✨. Meanwhile, the rest of us continue using computers for, you know, actual work. 🖥️💼

Stephen Wolfram reminds us that while AI can automate execution, it's our human goals and values that shape its trajectory. This sentiment aligns perfectly with The Humanity Code, which seeks to embed humanity’s highest virtues into the fabric of AI before it's too late.

If you wonder how #ChatGPT and other #LLM are working, you should read this explanation article:

What Is ChatGPT Doing … and Why Does It Work?—#StephenWolfram
https://writings.stephenwolfram.com/2023/02/what-is-chatgpt-doing-and-why-does-it-work/

Caution: it's non-trivial and long. It took me 3 hours. But I guess that's necessary to grasp the underlying structure. However, you already get a good overall picture in the first part already.

Towards the end, he's picturing potential improvements which would simplify computation & improve results.

#AI

#Ruliad: Think of it as the entangled limit of everything that is computationally possible: the result of following all possible computational rules in all possible ways.

Hours well spent listening to [#148: Constructing the Computational Paradigm — Stephen Wolfram on Joe Walker Podcast]( https://josephnoelwalker.com/148-stephen-wolfram/ ) (at >1.0 v; however I paused to take notes 😉). What do #StephenWolfram and I have in common?

What Is ChatGPT Doing … and Why Does It Work?

"At some level it’s a great example of the fundamental scientific fact that large numbers of simple computational elements can do remarkable and unexpected things." -- #StephenWolfram

@PaulNemitz Since it's not linked in the Twitter thread, I believe this is the Wolfram post in question, from February 2023:

@caseynewton #ChatGPT is not a judge of truth or falsity, but rather a judge of "is it likely that humans would arrange words in this sequence."

Numbered days

Try this: Hop over to https://wolframalpha.com and type in the following using your birthday…

how many days between m/d/yyyy and today

Study that number while looking for some perspective. Don’t tip into the yawing chasm of self-doubt, but rather strut towards the fertile plain of , “I’m awesome.” Finally, read this:

For this reason philosophers exhort us not to be contented with mere learning, but to add practice also, and then training. For we have long been accustomed to do the opposite of what we should, and the opinions that we hold and apply are the opposite of the correct ones. If, therefore, we do not also adopt and apply the correct opinions, we shall be nothing more than interpreters of the judgements of others.

WolframAlpha

I wonder how many Sundays are between June 17th 2012 and today?

WolframAlpha: 79.

Ho. Lee. Crap. That’s awesome.

You do know about WolframAlpha, right? …the “computational knowledge engine”? No? Go there. Ask it things.

Stephen Wolfram is a character. (But anyone whose thesis committee contains Richard Feynman gets a complete pass in my book.) “This math stuff is annoying…” Bam! Mathematica. And if you want to really go “whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?!”, try to wrap your brain around, A New Kind of Science.
