At a very practical level, for example, LLMs provide a new kind of linguistic interface to the computational capabilities that we’ve spent so long building in the Wolfram Language. Three centuries ago science was transformed by the idea of representing the world using mathematics. So how does AI stack up?

Universities generally cover a wide range of subjects, focused on an academic field, say mathematics or computer science. And the argument is that if a university degree is a good investment, it ought to be substantially more valuable than the opportunity cost. My argument is that the risk is too high, and the returns too low.

But some of it has immediate practical implications, notably for parallel, distributed, nondeterministic and quantum-style computing.
