Stephen Wolfram

You know, I mentioned this on some live streams I've done.

And so people have been sending me these pictures of blue wolves.

I think this idea, the idea that you're going to get factual output is not a very good idea.

I mean, it's just, this is not, it is a linguistic interface.

It is producing language.

And language can be truthful or not truthful.

And that's a different slice of what's going on.

I think that, you know, what we see

In, for example, kind of, you know, go check this with your fact source, for example.

You can do that to some extent, but then it's going to not check something.

It's going, you know, that is, again, a thing that is sort of a, does it check in the right place?

I mean, we see that in, you know, does it call the, you know, the Wolfram plugin in the right place?

You know, often it does.

Sometimes it doesn't.

I think the real thing to understand about what's happening is, which I think is very exciting, is kind of the great democratization of access to computation.

And I think that when you look at sort of the – there's been a long period of time when computation and the ability to figure out things with computers has been something that kind of only the druids at some level can achieve.

I myself have been involved in trying to sort of de-druidify access to computation.

I mean, back before Mathematica existed –

In 1988, if you were a physicist or something like that, and you wanted to do a computation, you would find a programmer, you would go and delegate the computation to that programmer.

Hopefully, they'd come back with something useful.
