00:00 Start stream
0:59 SW starts talking
1:13 What are your thoughts on machine learning to create new genera? Like what would be a good way to go about doing something like that? Like new genera of plants/animals?
10:12 Can you talk about the future of information gathering and research? Say I am discussing with a robot about a paper I am writing and the robot is providing examples and evidence to support my arguments, do I cite the Robot as my source? Or do I have to find where the Robot got the information?
19:27 How advanced do you think AI available to consumers (like ChatGPT) will be at by August 2029?
24:33 Hello, Dr. Wolfram. My name is Grace, and I'm currently preparing to pursue a PhD in fiber science. My research interests lie at the intersection of computational materials science and sustainable textile innovation. I have a background in pharmaceutical sciences. I've recently been exploring how advanced computational methods can be applied to fiber science, specifically in developing smart and sustainable textiles. How do you foresee quantum computing impacting the modeling and simulation of complex fibers and polymers?
30:37 What's your take on integrating memory into LLMs to enable retention across sessions? How could this impact their performance and capabilities?
32:55 What are your intuitions about the AI generated fake content to deceive people whether using deep fake face swaps or voice cloning or one or more things combined? Are we rapidly approaching a point where we won't be able to trust anything on the internet?
41:54 When do you expect the discovery of life on an exoplanet?
48:15 Is the hype around LLMs dying, finally relegating the toys to the toybox where they belong, or do you think anyone will ever be able to make them useful AND accurate?
50:41 Do you think future cars will be able to get rid of wheels?
57:49 What algorithms changed the world the most ? What's the next algorithm that will change world ? How does one release such algorithm so that the result is positive ?
