I'm struggling to believe that Wolfram's hubris is anything like that of Trump or Musk or SBF etc. Wolfram seems like a genuinely smart person who knows he's smart, but is probably too aware of it. But he's not done anything majorly bad - and arguably has done good in creating tools for scientists and engineers. I think we need to give him a break. I certainly think that the perennial discussion of his ego is tiresome and distracting.
