If you can look past the self-aggrandizement and advertising, the article does present useful tools and abstractions for thinking about applying LLMs + NNs to any problem. Wolfram is good at joining dots between ideas from different areas and writing these summaries (albeit verbosely). It's amusing though that he seems to think that if he gives something a new name and writes it down then he invented it, e.g. computational irresucibility seems very similar to chaos theory and "meta mathematical space" seems very similar to the ideas Terence Tao has been talking about wrt the utility of LLMs in mathematics. I could be wrong and Wolfram really invented these ideas though, I haven't researched the history enough.
