Wolfram talking about Wolfram for 14,000 words. The most Wolfram thing imaginable. Wolfram!

Please don't take HN threads on MPTs (Most Predictable Tangent). They're always the same, therefore tedious, therefore off topic here.

Reminded me of this classic:

>A group of friends and I used to do dramatic readings of the About the Author text from the Mathematica Book, which begins thusly:

>About the Author

>Stephen Wolfram is the creator of Mathematica and is widely regarded as the most important innovator in scientific and technical computing today.

>The guy wrote that himself.

>Wait, while searching for that, I see he updated it slightly in later versions:

>About the Author

>Stephen Wolfram is the creator of Mathematica, and a well-known scientist. He is widely regarded as the most important innovator in technical computing today, as well as one of the world's most original research scientists.

>I guess the original didn't fully express the boundless expanse of his awesomeness.

>"Does anyone want to bet as to which will gain self-awareness first: Wolfram Alpha or Wolfram, Stephen?"

He may have the data to make the argument. I suppose if anyone wanted to measure such things which really shouldn’t be measured, I bet Wolfram has a compelling case.

Thanks for sharing this. Helped me understand what i was reading before.

It honestly took me a while to realize the article wasn't an April fools post!

I am still upvoting the submission for its comedic value.

For the longest time I thought Sheldon Cooper was supposed to be a pisstake of Wolfram, specifically.
