Stephen Wolfram is pretty comfortable being in profitable niches. Even if there was a possible mutually beneficial arrangement it still behooves him to extract value out of it. Especially if upside is disproportionately beneficial to Bing and in time the language model will absorb some of the WolframAlpha capabilities so there is a risk factor involved as well. Plus, people with large egos tend to demand costly tributes to signal their greatness in one form or another.
- rvnx 4y agoTrue but it's quite a danger, another way to see it is that Wolfram is now teaching OpenAI model for free, showing prompt and answers for complex mathematical questions.
- Mike_12345 4y agoThat is not a risk. There are already many examples of questions and answers to engineering/physics/mathematical problems in the existing training set. The issue is that GPT is fundamentally not suited for mathematical reasoning, no matter how much training data you feed it.
