Will AIs Take All Our Jobs and End Human History—or Not? Well, It’s Complicated…

Stephen Wolfram

My goal here is to explore some of the science, technology—and philosophy—of what we can expect from AIs. Given a defined “goal”, an AI can automatically work towards achieving it. How does all this relate to technology? Well, technology is about taking what’s out there in the world, and harnessing it for human purposes.

Remembering the Improbable Life of Ed Fredkin (1934–2023) and His World of Ideas and Stories

Stephen Wolfram

Ed was someone who wanted to independently figure things out for himself, and delighted in presenting his often somewhat-outlandish conclusions—whether about technology, science, business or the world—with dramatic showman-like panache. He always radiated a certain adventurous joy—together with supreme, almost-childlike confidence.
