Ever considered hiring based on a personality test? 23:00-25:45 What's some good advice for starting to work on a super novel thing where there is almost no literature about it? 25:54-00:34:02 At this stage in your career, has your vision for your legacy reified fully, and if so what do you imagine it being? Eliminating computational irreducibility within the Ruliad and maximizing its positive impact on the world, for example? 34:16-38:48 How have your experiences in education influenced your approach to innovation? 38:50-39:41 Einstein is attributed as having said, "If I had an hour to solve a problem I'd spend 55 minutes thinking about the problem and five minutes thinking about solutions." 39:48-50:25 Do any of your businesses have plans to build blockchain solutions? How does blockchain technology fit into your vision of the future? 50:33-57:29 What is a fun business idea you have had, but never executed? 57:35-1:00:58 Do you think we'll get to a point of textbooks by AI? 1:01:12-1:09:14 Wolfram was one of the pioneers in using notebooks for scientific programming, i.e., literate programming. Do you think new programming languages will be more expressive? 1:09:55-1:18:51 Do you think philosophy and psychology (or an applied version of these for those less theoretical) should be taught throughout the school years just like English and maths (in addition to everything else)? 1:19:18: End stream Follow us on our official social media channels.

What history led to or influenced it? 16:06-34:58 Exploring binary code's historical role in programming and its connection to physics laws, in the universe as a giant computer, do parallels exist between binary principles and underlying structures? 35:15-45:46 Can you talk about the history of cybernetics, 2nd order cybernetics and its current connections to the observer in the Ruliad? 46:11-48:28 Was the cyber definition before the definition of robotics? 48:30-51:06 You are forgetting George Spencer Brown for the second order cybernetics topic. Have you ever used the ideas he expounded in The Laws of Form? 51:10-1:00:08 What was the significance of the ENIAC computer? 1:00:11-1:08:43 Isaac Newton was known as the Father of Modern Physics. How might he view advancements since his time? Would he have anything to add? 1:08:57-01:18:23 What was the history of small business vs big business?

What is there to learn? 11:57-29:55 What's the history of timekeeping? How did civilizations create the calendar and clocks? What science supports this? 30:14-32:46 Ok, but how would you keep track of time/sync up your devices? Today it's easy with electronic devices... I'm imagining my microwave and stove clock always being a minute or two out of sync from manually setting it. 32:51-34:39 How did you get to know so much, and in such depth, about such vastly disparate historical topics? Seems this could be fascinating to hear about in and of itself. 34:45-39:11 Wow, great question. makes me think maybe blockchains are the evolution of agreed upon ledgers in one single agreed upon time. 39:22-49:40 Do you think the fourier transform is fundamental to nature, historically, it appears in quantum field theory, quantum computing, signal processing, etc.? 49:59-53:39 When did time become an important variable in science? 54:25-58:24 Why do you suppose no one tried to continue with Nikola Tesla's incomplete inventions? 58:52-1:09:43 As a software engineer, I discover elegant academic programming languages all the time, but they never seem to gain much traction in industry. On the other hand, we have languages like Javascript, which was pretty much developed as a prototype but is now ubiquitous in web development. I'd be curious to hear your thoughts on this history of "organic" development of programming languages. 1:10:00-1:13:39 Are there any pros to using "historical" technology? Or is newer always better? 1:13:55 End Stream Follow us on our official social media channels.

(is there a future in bio-batteries?) 32:17-33:40 Based on the level of computational advances this last decade, with the trend only showing even more of the same, do you think that traditional engineering disciplines will be relegated to the OpenLLM? 33:44-34:53 Do you think we'll see mass-producible room-temperature super conductors in the next decade? 34:57-37:41 It has been suggested that AI will displace coders/programmers. Do you think AI might also replace many physical and chemical experiments? 37:44-42:04 Any thoughts on "zero knowledge proofs", i.e. the ability to make proofs without revealing details? 42:09-44:05 Given that some of our greatest accomplishments as a species has been when we mimic nature, how important do you think Biomimetics is going forward? 44:08-49:08 Can you see the time when the discovery of new mathematical theorems and axioms will be generated from AIs? 49:20-51:44 When Betelgeuse explodes, will humans be okay? 51:49-53:30 Do you think smart textiles / computing fabrics will take off? Or be viable? Would you wear say a sweater to hear instead of a hearing aid? 53:37-57:32 But things like math, geometry. and especially tessellation have patterns that are universally implicit and can be interpreted to be interesting by their own existence and not just the humanity view upon them. 57:38-1:00:12 Is there a way we can use brownian motion at a molecular scale as a type of fingerprint for nano sensors to create things that are piracy proof? 1:00:17-1:00:53 why are the axioms of mathematics necessarily the ones that are effective at describing things we see as well? 1:00:59-1:04:36 What do things like dreams and "higher states if consciousness" spoken about in eastern philosophies tell us about ourselves as Observers 1:04:46-1:06:09 Would it be easy to have an AI remaster old movies, real ones and cartoons, so we can watch all the old gems in highend graphics? 1:06:16-1:07:38 'Interesting' is defined by a 'coolness' threshold. 1:07:41-1:15:30 Since the scientific paradigm was a major cause for the Enlightenment can we expect the (multi)computational paradigm to kick off a socio-philosophical paradigm of comparable importance? 1:15:32-1:18:51 If someone Invented calculus in the stone age it would probably have not been used for anything...do you think there are some ideas that may be "rediscovered" because they have a better use? 1:19:32 End stream Follow us on our official social media channels.

I often hear some things are "open to interpretation", but is there a case of this causing false experiments? 16:11 Same for LLMs hallucination today. 22:36 Makes me think of the "replication crisis" and the question: how many phds if we ran all of them since 1960s through an LLM would be flagged for plagiarism? 29:44 What is best for historical research? Photos? Text? artifacts? 44:18 What do you know about the history of archiving? When did archiving begin? 1:03:33 Your discussion today pinpoints how critical it is for scientists to know the history of their field of research as well as become excellent communicators of the science. One without the other leaves others not as immersed in the field, floundering to understand their ideas. 1:10:08 What has history taught us on how to deal with a science community that is misguided? 1:22:24 What does the modern history of science tell us about non academic contributors and future of this type of contributions? 1:32:45 It's not just science where new ideas need time to settle. Van Gogh famously sold only one painting during his lifetime. 1:36:48 How and why should we document science in the future when AI starts to lead progress? 1:39:16 What are the positives of reformulating history? 1:45:05 End Stream Follow us on our official social media channels.
