00:00 Start stream
1:28 SW starts talking
1:42-12:16 ​​Can you patent an algorithm? Machine learning models?
12:23-19:33 Will we need a new division of law for AI cases? What is the precedent?
19:35-22:47 ​​Can blockchain mitigate the AI "facts," or is it its own threat to communications and liberty?
22:52-25:37 ​​Can you rationalize a world where "free-to-use" AI services utilize licenses that allow free use, but then the operating company can capitalize on the content that they generate?
25:40-00:27:45: What is a good process for knowledge transfer from employee to employee?
27:55-35:13 If you had the chance to redo your life, would you choose differently in terms of what choices you made academically?
35:25-50:57 Have you written any books or do you have any thoughts on childhood education? Now that I have three kids at different stages, I find it challenging that the school curriculums are trying to make conforming students while lacking effort in individual talent discovery. What's your experience and how have you approached it?
51:03-57:36 Do you still check your emails regularly? I find it a distraction for productivity and originality due to the bombardment of emails, text and all of it. I see this as a potential area for AI to personalize, and it could be simple to make. What do you think?
57:55-59:02 Wolfram's writings are actually often a quite good read and have a unique humor. MUCH better than most papers that came out in the last 20 years.
59:33-1:01:45 ​​I want to do something that should be an internet-based business, and thermodynamics and its applications should be a central part of the business. Do you have any tips?
