Charting a Course for “Complexity”: Metamodeling, Ruliology and More

Stephen Wolfram

Could it really be that this was the secret that nature had been using all along to make complexity? But it really wasn’t physics, or computer science, or math, or biology, or economics, or any known field. Sometimes they have been based on constructing programs to reproduce behavior. But at least it would have a home.

Will AIs Take All Our Jobs and End Human History—or Not? Well, It’s Complicated…

Stephen Wolfram

The results (which ultimately rely on all sorts of specific engineering) are remarkably “human like”. Most of our existing intuition about “machinery” and “automation” comes from a kind of “clockwork” view of engineering—in which we specifically build systems component by component to achieve objectives we want.

What Is ChatGPT Doing … and Why Does It Work?

Stephen Wolfram

I should say at the outset that I’m going to focus on the big picture of what’s going on—and while I’ll mention some engineering details, I won’t get deeply into them. It turns out that it’s possible to construct such a function. Not surprisingly, it’s not particularly simple, though.
