1:13 SW starts talking
1:24 What research is essential for putting people on Mars?
9:04 Any comments on the future of arts and literature in the face of AI-related challenges? Will individual creative impulses forever be subjugated to AI?
18:23 How often do you find yourself thinking about the future of science and technology? Does this affect how you prioritize certain projects (say, wait five years because the tech will be better to handle it)?
32:43 Is there a chance we will ever have giant insects or animals akin to those that lived during the age of dinosaurs reappear?
38:41 How can we combine LLMs with first-generation AI algorithms like "MiniMax" and tree search? At the moment, LLMs can't even play tic-tac -toe.
42:52 Have you heard about AI reading minds through brain waves and fMRI, researched by Michael Blumenstein and Jerry Tang?
50:40 Have your thoughts on the future of education changed at all recently?
58:18 Would you ever go to Mars?
1:01:48 Are the challenges different from colonizing the bottom of the ocean, other than obvious logistics?
1:03:46 Given the uptick in robotics advances, including humanoid, I wonder if there will even be a point to sending humans to Mars anymore, beyond tourism.
1:06:30 Wasn't there a significantly higher percentage of O2 back then?
1:06:38 A pygmy Stegosaurus would be adorable!
1:07:15 I would not like to go to Mars. It seems boring. They don't even have a Starbucks.
1:08:05 How might the Physics Project help advance technologies like fusion power?

1:48 Can machine learning find a pattern in all animal languages?
13:36 Cat: Meow. Translation: What a glorious day to be alive. I think I will frolic in the fields and catch myself some field mice for my tea. Then I shall sit down and ponder the nature of the universe.
14:18 What is time?
39:54 If the rules repeat a state, does that mean time has gone backwards?
41:24 So less computation allowed for the progression of time? Time slows down the faster you go?
48:09 Communication speed between Mars and Earth is not instantaneous. So wouldnt both the sender and the receiver never have real-time data of what was happening on both planets? We on Earth may only find out that something terrible happened on Mars after its too late, correct?
56:07 Is there an objective time in Wolfram physics? Is the frame rate the same everywhere?
57:29 How do I prove that matter is made of atoms?
1:07:43 How would you solve 100/4(2+3)?
