Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

I think that's more about Wolfram giving a clickbait headline to some dicking around he did in the name of "the ruliad", a revolutionary conceptual innovation of the Wolfram Physics Project that is best studied using the Wolfram Language, brought to you by Wolfram Research.
Unrelated William James quote from 1907:
So it's the complete graph on the set of strings? Stephen how the fuck is this going to help with anything
Hops over to Wikipedia... searches... "Showing results for ruleal. No results found for ruliad."
Hmm. Widen search to all namespaces... oh, it was deleted. Twice.
The Ruliad sounds like an empire in a 3rd rate SF show
Holy shit, I didn't even read that part while skimming the later parts of that post. I am going to need formal mathematical definitions for "entangled limit", "all possible computations", "everything machine", "maximally nondeterministic", and "eye wash" because I really need to wash out my eyes. Coming up with technical jargon that isn't even properly defined is a major sign of math crankery. It's one thing to have high abstractions, but it is something else to say fancy words for the sake of making your prose sound more profound.
(Wolphram shoehorning cellular automata into everything to universally explain mathematics) shaking hands (my boys explaining which pokemon could defeat arbitrary fictional villains)
isn't this just a particularly weird lisp
