To save others a search, here's the podcast with Wolfram.

Stephen Wolfram on Computation, Hypergraphs, and Fundamental Physics - https://podbay.fm/p/sean-carrolls-mindscape-science-society-... (2hr 40min)

I'm a fan of his work and person too. Not a fanatic or evangelical level, but I do think he's one of the more historically relevant computer scientists and philosophers working today. I can overlook his occasional arrogance, and recognize that there's a genuine and original thinker who's been pursuing truth and knowledge for decades.

Same here. I've found the "me me me" a bit off-putting over the years, but can't deny that he is a genuinely smart, interesting, and forward thinking person. I especially enjoyed his writings on measuring every aspect of his life [1].

Also Wolfram (person and company) don't seem to be stodgy and stuck in old ways. At least as an outside observer (I'm not a mathematician, nor do I use Wolfram's main tools), seem to handle new trends with their own unique contributions to augment those trends:

Wolfram Alpha was a genuinely useful and good tool, perfect for the times.

These tools will actually further supercharge LLMs in certain use cases. They've provided multiple ways to adopt them.

Looking forward to see what people will do with this stuff.
