The Story Continues: Announcing Version 14 of Wolfram Language and Mathematica

Stephen Wolfram

And for AIs we’re providing a variety of tools —like immediate computable access to documentation , and computable error handling. But it’s also possible for anyone to post their prompts in the Wolfram Cloud and make them publicly (or privately) accessible. The prompts can define personas (“ talk like a [stereotypical] pirate ”).

A 50-Year Quest: My Personal Journey with the Second Law of Thermodynamics

Stephen Wolfram

But by 1976 I had access to much bigger and faster computers (as well as to the ARPANET—forerunner of the internet). As it happens, we lost the password, and it was only in 2015 that we got access to the source again.) And soon I was routinely using computers as powerful tools for physics, and particularly for symbolic manipulation.
