I agree that the prospects of combining the two is very appealing. I do hope that will happen in one way or another.
As for Stephen Wolfram, maybe it's my predisposition but even in this article, I feel like I am sensing not just vanity but also a slight jealousy of ChatGPT's success.
- cs702 4y agoYes. I know what you mean about vanity/jealousy, but if you ignore his usual self-serving drivel -- e.g., offhand dismissive comments like "I've been tracking neural net technology for a long time (about 43 years, actually)" -- he makes good arguments, backed with examples, in the OP. Like everyone else, he deserves credit where and when it's due ;-)
- larve 4y agoI've just come to accept Stephen Wolfram's "air" of superiority to just that. If you parse it away as a vibe, he is a genuinely curious and invested person, that has stuck to their peculiar vision for more than 3 decades, and puts his money where his mouth is. Every design session of the wolfram language is streamed on youtube, which is pretty incredible to watch. I'm sad that the pricing / licensing makes wolfram products so hard if not impossible to shill in a professional setting, because I think it is a genuinely unique product in the sea of overall uninspired and mediocre takes on what computing could be. The wolfram conference is one of the most fun conferences I attend.
