I mean, already ChatGPT alone has made more cultural and historical impact per capita than the aforementioned gentlemen, simply because nobody cares about philosophy. But that was never my point. My point is: you can think of uncle Witt kind of like "postmodern" twist on Socrates, i.e. they're both effectively talking about the same thing: determining optimal form for computing language. Wittgenstein had made considerable progress here, i.e. language games, and now we finally get means to literally compute these. To me it's absolutely clear; this is the most important thing to happen in philosophy.
