Stephen Wolfram hosts an unscripted Ask Me Anything about the future of science and technology for all ages. Find the playlist of Q&A's here: https://wolfr.am/youtube-sw-qa Originally livestreamed at: https://twitch.tv/stephen_wolfram If you missed the original livestream of this episode, feel free to submit a question you would like Stephen to answer in a future Q&A livestream here: https://wolfr.am/12cczmv5J 00:00 Start stream 1:09 SW starts talking 1:23 ​​Do you imagine humanity exploring "inner space" (i.e. virtual worlds ) more than "outer space"? 17:39 Could the spin of electrons lead to a communications system? 22:03 How would we evolve to live in space? Would we even evolve, without going into space? 26:36 Why is it you always wear the same checked shirt with the right-side collar slightly flattened...almost AI-like... 27:01 Do you think that the rules of human biology are computationally reducible, so that we eventually will be able to understand the aging of our cells? 42:28 The latest LLMs are doing very advanced mathematics. Do you think we can get AI to the point that it is solving open problems and creating new mathematics? 52:06 What is the next step for LLMs to advance? 56:02 Do a conversation with Joscha Bach please—it'll be amazing! 57:59 Have any of these LLM agents been trained on NKS? 59:51 Thoughts on this new "external reasoning" paradigm or more generally, reinforcement learning + LLMs? 1:03:55 How many years away do you think we are from grey goo (self-replicating nanomachines), if ever? 1:14:42 Are people considering (re-)training LLMs completely on scientific high-quality peer-reviewed papers? 1:19:14 End stream Follow us on our official social media channels.
