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

Stephen Wolfram

For about three centuries it seemed as if mathematical equations were the ultimate way to describe the natural world—but in the past few decades , and particularly poignantly with our recent Physics Project , it’s become clear that simple programs are in general a more powerful approach.) It’s very much like with ChatGPT.

What Is ChatGPT Doing … and Why Does It Work?

Stephen Wolfram

Then we might make a mathematical guess, like that perhaps we should use a straight line as a model: We could pick different straight lines. It’s just something that’s mathematically simple, and we’re used to the fact that lots of data we measure turns out to be well fit by mathematically simple things.

The Making of A New Kind of Science

Stephen Wolfram

What about systems that adapt or learn? What about the foundations of mathematics? But that email was right before I discovered yet more kinds of computational systems to explore, and before I’d understood applications to biology, and physics, and mathematics, and so on. But what could be figured out like this?
