Stephen Wolfram answers questions from his viewers about business, innovation, and managing life as part of an unscripted livestream series, also available on YouTube here: https://wolfr.am/youtube-sw-business-qa
Questions include: What is the one question (or all questions) a CEO must be asking himself every day? - Why did you choose walking as your main exercise? Did you try other modalities? Is there a scientific reason or just personal preference? Did you do any analysis regarding which exercises deliver the best benefits for the time/energy spent? - Have you thought about using ChatGPT to help you write a fiction book? I saw recently someone used AI to create a children's book in the time frame of a weekend. - What do you do when you are feeling that you are lost or unmotivated and not having a clear vision into what should be done next in your business endeavors? - I'm very impressed at how well you express yourself in these videos. Do you think writing has helped you in this regard? - What are your thoughts for the coming wave of founders starting generative AI companies? - I feel like ChatGPT and the art AIs will be able to make full-blown movies algorithmically. - I've used ChatGPT for writing technical instructions and procedures at work. I really dislike doing them myself, and GPT gives an excellent first cut with English better than I could write it. - I think you would have to include that you used chat as an aid for the email. - How do I focus on a problem? There are so many aspects in literature and following cross-referencing can be overwhelming. - How do you deal with distractions and not get overstimulated by external forces? How do you stay focused on hard tasks? - Can I ask about "team building," particularly with highly technical types of peoples (scientists, engineers, savants)? - What is your advice for someone employed full time in the industry doing something else to do research in another area? - How did you find out that you would excel at physics and computational physics? - Will you open source the Stephen Wolfram bot? - Do you have an overview of all the projects you have in your company? What do you think about too many versus too little projects? - Do you think it is a good idea to treat coding/programming as a sport, i.e. the same as football, e.g. score a goal, become famous?
