Stephen Wolfram - From Fundamental Physics to AI: An Emerging Computational Universe 

So time is not fundamental or emergent, or strictly in the observer, but in the computing speed of the hypergraph? But doesn't that just kick the problem of explaining time up a level?

Great talk, especially the demos. They were helpful to visualize concepts. Thank you Dr. Wolfram for being a prolific communicator and thinker and doer. You are accomplishing and contributing a lot to humanity, please continue.

In 2023, Stephen is revolutionizing the field of physics with his innovative exploration in hypergraph models of space. His work is more than just theoretical talent; it fundamentally changes our understanding of the universe. Stephen skillfully combines advanced artificial intelligence with cellular automata, delving deep into the complexities of space-time. Speaking of cellular automata, did you hear what one said to the other? 'Stop copying me, or we'll end up in a loop!' and 'You had one job - to follow the rules!' It's like they're having a real chat in there. One even said, 'Hey, let's make a pattern nobody can predict!' and 'I'm feeling less complex today, how about you?' Stephen's automata are not just evolving, as one joked, 'Are you evolving, or just stuck in your grid?' Together, they make complexity look simple, with one quipping, 'Let's not gridlock over the rules!' and questioning life in the grid, 'Do you think we'll ever escape this grid?' It's a chaotic system for sure, with them joking, 'Careful, or we'll end up as a chaotic system!' and reminding each other, 'Don't be so predictable!' Stephen's role in all this? Not just riding the peak of the AI wave, he's leading a transformative movement, ingeniously intertwining the fields of physics and artificial intelligence in unprecedented ways. #InnovatingSpaceTime #AIPhysicsFrontier

Interesting

Thoroughly interesting talk, most enjoyed the Q&A. Induction and relevance realisation and how we can inscribe human values are really interesting problems. 1:43:32 : Unsure about the notion that AIs don't suffer (of course not in the anthropomorphic sense but) the cost function does act as a form of negative reinforcement.

truely great personality

the cool thing is, it doesn't matter how "fast" the thing is that computes us, because even if it is a single string, bit by bit, we are part of it, so we are slow as well, so it cancels each other out at no matter the speed of what computes us, we experience the universe the same exact speed
