How to Think Computationally about AI, the Universe and Everything

Stephen Wolfram

Even after everything our civilization has achieved, we’re just at the very, very beginning of exploring rulial space. The big achievements of AI in recent times have been about making systems that are closely aligned with us humans. Much like now most of nature doesn’t seem like it’s “achieving a purpose”. But what about AIs?

Wolfram|Alpha as the Way to Bring Computational Knowledge Superpowers to ChatGPT

Stephen Wolfram

But while ChatGPT is a remarkable achievement in automating the doing of major human-like things, not everything that’s useful to do is quite so “human like”. Put another way, it’d take “fixing” an almost infinite number of “bugs” to patch up what even an almost-infinitesimal corner of Wolfram|Alpha can achieve in its structured way.

ChatGPT Gets Its “Wolfram Superpowers”!

Stephen Wolfram

The whole process of “prompt engineering” feels a bit like animal wrangling: you’re trying to get ChatGPT to do what you want, but it’s hard to know just what it will take to achieve that. In the past, one might have tried to achieve this “by hand” by starting with “boilerplate” pieces, then modifying them, “gluing” them together, etc.

Numbers and networks: how can we use mathematics to assess the resilience of global supply chains?

Futurum

There are many branches of maths, including algebra, geometry, calculus and statistics. These include stock market analysis, artificial intelligence, supply chain optimisation and medical engineering, but mathematicians can end up working anywhere! • Linear algebra, statistics and computer programming are particularly useful. “If

Can AI Solve Science?

Stephen Wolfram

In 2000 I was interested in what the simplest possible axiom system for logic (Boolean algebra) might be. Here’s how the “loss” evolves (over the course of 100 generations) for a collection of paths: And what we see is that there’s only one “winner” here that achieves zero loss; on all the other paths, evolution “gets stuck”.
