Von Wolfram sind Daniel und der Kaffeemann auf der Berlinale 2026 nicht nur deswegen herb enttäuscht gewesen, weil es ihrer Meinung nach ein eher schlecht inszenierter Film ist. Sie wollten den australischen Western eigentlich unbedingt lieben, da sie bei Sundance 2018 ein so tolles Gespräch mit dessen Regisseur Warwick Thornton führen durften und dessen damaliger Festival-Beitrag, Sweet Country, gerade im Vergleich zu seinem neusten Werk, so ein verdammt guter Film war.

Kulturstaatsminister Wolfram Weimer hat drei linke Buchhandlungen aus politischen Gründen von einem Preis ausgeschlossen und beruft sich dabei auf nicht veröffentlichte Geheimdienstinformationen. Der Vorgang ist abzulehnen, darum ist es auch zweifelhaft, wenn nun Gruppen applaudieren, die gestern noch selber ähnlich behandelt wurden. Die Meinungsfreiheit muss prinzipiell gegen den Ungeist der Cancel-Culture verteidigt werden. Darum sollteWeiterlesen

Hey folks, Alex here, let me catch you up! Most important news about this week came today, mid-show, OpenAI dropped GPT 5.4 Thinking (and 5.4 Pro), their latest flagship general model, less autistic than Codex 5.3, with 1M context, /fast mode and the ability to steet it mid-reasoning. We tested it live on the show, it's really a beast. Also, since last week, Anthropic said no to Department of War's ultimatum and it looks like they are being designated as supply chain risk, OpenAI swooped in to sign a deal with DoW and the internet went ballistic (Dario also had some .. choice words in a leaked memo!) On the Open Source front, the internet lost it's damn mind when a friend of the pod Junyang Lin, announced his departure from Qwen in a tweet, causing an uproar, and the CEO of Alibaba to intervene. Wolfram presented our new in-house wolfbench.ai and a lot more! P.S - We acknowledge the war in Iran, and wish a quick resolution, the safety of civilians on both sides. Yam had to run to the shelter multiple times during the show. ThursdAI - Highest signal weekly AI news show is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.OpenAI drops GPT 5.4 Thinking and 5.4 Pro - heavy weight frontier models with 1M context, /fast mode, SOTA on many evalsOpenAI actually opened this week with another model drop, GPT 5.3-instant, which... we can honestly skip, it was fairly insignificant besides noting that this is the model that most free users use. It is supposedly “less cringe” (actual words OpenAI used). We all wondered when 5.4 will, and OpenAI once again proved that we named the show after the right day. Of course it drops on a ThursdAI. GPT 5.4 Thinking is OpenAI latest “General” model, which can still code, yes (they folded most of the Codex 5.3 coding breakthroughs in here) but it also shows an incredible 83% on GDPVal (12% over Codex), 47% on Frontier Math and an incredible ability to use computers and browsers with 82% on BrowseComp beating Claude 4.6 at lower prices than Sonnet! GPT 5.4 is also ... quite significantly improved at Frontend design? This landing page was created by GPT 5.4 (inside the Codex app, newly available on Windows) in a few minutes, clearly showing significant improvements in style. I built it also to compare prices, all the 3 flagship models are trying to catch up to Gemini in 1M context window, and it's important to note, that GPT 5.4 even at double the price after the 272K tokens cutoff is still.... cheaper than Opus 4.6. OpenAI is really going for broke here, specifically as many enterprises are adopting Anthropic at a faster and faster pace (it was reported that Anthropic is approaching 19B ARR this month, doubling from 8B just a few months ago!) Frontier math wizThe highlight from the 5.4 feedback came from a Polish mathematician Bartosz Naskręcki (@nasqret on X), who said GPT-5.4 solved a research-level FrontierMath problem he had been working on for roughly 20 years. He called it his “personal singularity,” and as overused as that word has become, I get why he said it. I've told you about this last week, we're on the cusp. Coding efficiencyThere's tons of metrics in this release, but I wanted to highlight this one, where it may seem on first glance that on SWE-bench Pro, this model is on par with the previous SOTA GPT 5.3 codex, but these dots here are thinking efforts. And a medium thinking effort, GPT 5.4 matches 5.3 on hard thinking! This is quite remarkable, as lower thinking efforts have less tokens, which means they are cheaper and faster ultimately! Fast mode arrives at OpenAI as wellI think this one is a direct “this worked for Anthropic, lets steal this”, OpenAI enabled /fast mode that.. burns the tokens at 2x the rate, and prioritizes your tokens at 1.5x the speed. So, essentially getting you responses faster (which was one of the main complains about GPT 5.3 Codex). I can't wait to bring the fast mode to OpenClaw with 5.4, which will absolutely come as OpenClaw is part of OpenAI now. There's also a really under-appreciated feature here that I think other labs are going to copy quickly: mid-thought steering. OpenAI now lets you interrupt the model while it's thinking and redirect it in real time in ChatGPT and iOS. This is a godsend if you're like me, sent a prompt, seeing the model go down the wrong path in thinking... and want to just.. steer it without stopping! Anthropic is now designated as supply-chain risk by DoWLast week I left you with a cliffhanger: Anthropic had received an ultimatum from the Department of War (previously the Department of Defense) to remove their two remaining restrictions on Claude — no autonomous kill chain without human intervention, and no surveillance of US citizens. Anthropic's response? “we cannot in good conscience acceede to their request” So much has happened since then; US President Trump said “I fired Anthropic” referring to his Truth Social post demanding intelligence agencies drop the use of Claude (which apparently was used in the war with Iran regardless); Sam Altman announced that OpenAI has agreed to DoW and will provide OpenAI models, causing a lot of people to cancel their OpenAI subscriptions, and later apologizing for the “rushed rollout”; Dario Amodei posted a very contentious internal memo that leaked, in which he name-called the presidency, Sam Altman and his motives, Palantir and their “safety theater”, for which he later apologizedHonestly this whole thing is giving me whiplash trying to follow, but here's the facts. Anthropic is now the first US company in history, being designated “supply chain risk” which means no government agency can use Claude, and neither can any company that does contracts with DoW. Anthropic says it's illegal and will challenge this in court , while reporting $19B in annual recurring revenue, nearly doubling since last 3 months, and very closely approaching OpenAI at $25B. Look, did I want to report on this stuff when I decided to cover AI? no... I wanted to tell you about cool models and capabilities, but the world is changing, and it's important to know that the US Government understands now that AI is inevitable, and I think this is just the first of many clashes between tech and government we'll see. We'll keep reporting on both. (but let me know in the comments if you'd prefer just model releases) OpenAI's GPT-5.3 Instant Gets Less Cringe, Google's Flash-Lite Gets Faster (X, Announcement)We also got two fast-model updates this week that are worth calling out because these are the models that often end up powering real product flows behind the scenes. As I wrote before, OpenAI's instant model is nothing to really mention, but it's worth mentioning that OpenAI seems to have an answer for every Gemini release. Gemini released Gemini Flash-lite this week, which boasts an incredible 363 tokens/s speed, which doing math at a very good level, 1M context and great scores compared to the instant/fast models like Haiku from Anthropic. Folks called out that this model is more expensive than the previous 2.5 Flash-lite. But with 86.9% on GPQA Diamond beating GPT-5 mini, and 76.8% MMMU-pro multimodal reasoning, this is definitely worth taking a look at for many agentic, super fast responses! For example, the heartbeat response in OpenClaw. Qwen 3.5 Small Models & The Departure of Junyang Lin (X, HF, HF, HF)Alibaba's Qwen team continued releasing their Qwen 3.5 family, this time with Qwen 3.5 Small, a series of models at 0.8B, 2B, 4B, and 9B parameters with native multimodal capabilities. The flagship 9B model is beating GPT-OSS-120B on multiple benchmarks, scoring 82.5 on MMLU-Pro and 81.7 on GPQA Diamond. These models can handle video, documents, and images natively, support up to 201 languages, and can process up to 262K tokens of context. And.. they are great! They are trending on HF right now. What's also trending is, tech lead for Qwen, a friend of the pod Junyang Lin, has posted a cryptic tweet that went viral with over 6M views. There was a lot of discussions on why he and other Qwen leads are stepping away, what's goig to happen with the future of OpenSource. The full picture seems to be, there are a lot of internal tensions and politics, with Junyang being one of the youngest P10 leaders in the Alibaba org.A Chinese website 36KR ( Kind of like a chinese techcrunch) reported that this matter went all the way up to Alibaba CEO, who is no co-leading the qwen team, and that this resignation was related to an internal dispute over resource allocation and team consolidation, not a firing. I'm sure Junyang is going to land somewhere incredible and just wanted to highlight just how much he did for the open source community, pushing Qwen relentlessly, supporting and working with a lot of inference providers (and almost becoming a co-host for ThursdAI with 9! appearances!) StepFun releases Step 3.5 Flash Base (X, HF, HF, Announcement, Arxiv)Speaking of Open Source, StepFun just broke through the noise with a new model, a 196B parameter sparse Mixture of Experts model activating just 11B parameters when ran. It has some great benchmarks, but the main thing is this: they are releasing the pretrained base weights, a midtrain checkpoint optimized for code and agents, the complete SteptronOSS training framework, AND promising to release their SFT data soon - all under Apache 2.0! Technically the model looks strong too, with multi-token prediction, 74.4% on SWE-bench verified bench (though, as we told you last week, it's.. no longer trusted) and full apache 2! This Week's Buzz: presenting Wolfbench.ai I'm so excited about this weeks “this weeks buzz”, Wolfram has been hard at work preparing and presenting a new framework to test out these models, and named it wolfbench.ai Wolfbench is our attempt to compare how the same model performs via different agentic harnesses like ClaudeCode, OpenClaw and Terminalbench's own Terminus. You can check out the website on wolfbench.com but the short of it is, a single number is not telling the full story. Wolf Bench breaks it into a four-metric framework: the average score across runs, the best single run, the ceiling (how many tasks can the model solve at least once across all runs), and the floor (how many tasks does it solve consistently across every single run). That last one is what I find most illuminating. Opus 4.6 might be able to solve 88% of Terminal Bench tasks on average, but only about 55% of tasks it solves every single time. Reliability matters enormously for agents, and benchmarks almost never surface this. If you want to run your own evals with the same config, reach out to Wolfram—he's open to community contributions. Wolfram has also already kicked off a Wolf Bench run on GPT-5.4 since we tested it live today, so stay tuned for those results.There's quite a few more releases we didn't have time to get into on the show given the GPT 5.4 drop, you'll find all those links in the show notes! Next week will mark 3 years since I've started talking about AI on the internet and created ThursdAI (It was March 14th, 2023, same day as GPT4 launched) and we'll have a little celebration, I do hope you join us live

Mitte der 90er war das Point-and-Click-Adventure eigentlich auf seinem Höhepunkt und trotzdem zugleich schon auf dem Weg in die Nische. Ein gutes Beispiel dafür ist Toonstruck. Es erscheint 1996, kostet ein kleines Vermögen in der Produktion und kombiniert handgezeichnete Cartoons mit einem echten Menschen: Christopher Lloyd, vielen als Doc Brown aus Back to the Future bekannt, steht buchstäblich mitten in dieser Zeichentrickwelt und spielt den ausgelaugten Animator Drew Blanc, der an zu vielen „Fluffy Fluffy Bun Bun“-Hasen fast zerbricht.Im Spiel wird Drew in seine eigene Schöpfung hineingezogen und landet in Cutopia, einem Reich aus Zuckerguss, das gerade von Count Nefarious und seiner Malevolator-Maschine in eine verzerrte Cartoon-Hölle verwandelt wird. Gemeinsam mit Sidekick Flux Wildly stolpert er durch quietschbunte Screens, löst klassische Inventar-Rätsel und trifft auf eine beeindruckende Riege an Sprecher*innen. Von Dan Castellaneta bis Tim Curry, den viele von euch als Killer-Clown ES oder aus Command & Conquer kennen (ja, das ist der Typ mit der dreckigsten Lache ever :D). Das Ergebnis wirkt heute wie eine Mischung aus Roger Rabbit, LucasArts-Humor und einem leicht zynischen Blick auf die Animationsindustrie: technisch ambitioniert, stellenweise herrlich albern, mit gelegentlicher „Moon-Logic“ im Puzzle-Design.In unserer Retrospektive sprechen Wolfram und Micha darüber, warum Toonstruck trotz Star-Besetzung und aufwendiger Produktion kommerziell scheiterte, wie sehr der Humor gealtert ist und wieso die Fanhoffnung auf mehr als nur einen simplen Re-Release bis heute nicht ganz tot ist. Außerdem geht es um Christopher Lloyds Performance, Flux als vielleicht heimlichen Star des Spiels und die Frage, ob Toonstruck 2026 eher als kuriose Fußnote oder als unterschätzter Genre-Höhepunkt dasteht.

Do different observers think differently? Or does the principle of computational equivalence mean that all observers think the same way?Stephen Wolfram takes this question and runs with it.If we had brains the size of planets, he suggests, the finite speed of light would force us to think of space and time differently, and abandon the fiction of an instantaneous state of space.If we had brains the size of molecules, he says, we'd no longer think of the motion of molecules as random, and we'd find the heat death of the universe a far more interesting prospect.And if we were able to hold multiple paths through the multiway graph in our minds at the same time, we'd have multiple threads of experience... and some complicated conversations!We think the way we think because we are the way we are... if we were much larger-scale, much smaller-scale or if we had multiway minds, then we'd think very differently.And this has some serious consequences, Stephen suggests, in fields as diverse as molecular biology and parallel computing.—Stephen WolframStephen WolframThe Wolfram Physics ProjectWolfram InstituteWolfram Institute Community DiscordCreditsFullerene by YassineMrabet licensed under CC-BY-SA 3.0—The Last Theory is hosted by Mark Jeffery founder of Open Web MindI release The Last Theory as a video too!

For this week's podcast episode, host Kristin Hayes chats with Resources for the Future (RFF) Fellow Milan Elkerbout alongside Massachusetts Institute of Technology Professor and RFF University Fellow and Board Member Catherine Wolfram to make sense of the significant new global launch of the Open Coalition on Compliance Carbon Markets at last year's 30th Conference of the Parties. In accordance with a key tenet of the Paris Agreement, the declaration of the Open Coalition establishes formal—and actionable—intent for the participating countries to align on a shared global framework for carbon markets. Elkerbout and Wolfram characterize this initiative as a sign of adapting to new dynamics that have been governing international climate negotiations, with strong possibility of more countries joining. With this momentum, Elkerbout and Wolfram note progress toward emissions reductions and climate cooperation.

Det er året, hvor din AI er holdt op med bare at svare dig – og i stedet er begyndt at gøre ting for dig.Vi er trådt ind i det, vi kalder den agentiske æra. Glem alt om den passive chatbot, du skriver med, når du keder dig. Vi taler om “robot-butlere”. Forestil dig en medarbejder, der aldrig sover, som har adgang til din computer, og som kan løse komplekse opgaver, mens du ligger og sover. Men… som måske også finder på at ringe til din chef klokken tre om natten, fordi den lige har fundet en “fejl”, den absolut vil rette nu.I dag besøger vi maskinrummet. Vi skal kigge over skulderen på AI-agenter, der handler og pludrer med hinanden på Moltbook – et socialt medie kun for AI-agenter, som mennesker ikke har adgang til. Vi skal møde vores AI butler på OpenClaw, som er eksploderet hurtigere end noget andet i softwarehistorien, og vi skal lige kigge på, hvordan kodning ikke længere går ud på at skrive software. Nu er software noget, man dirigerer – frem for noget, man skriver.Medvirkende:Stephen Schwartz, journalistStephen Wolfram, CEO, WolframClaus Dahl, Director of Machine Learning Assets, VismaLinks:Moltbookhttps://www.moltbook.comOpen Clawhttps://openclaw.ai/blog/introducing-openclawDen smarte stikirenddrenghttps://www.kb.dk/find-materiale/dr-arkivet/post/ds.radio:oai:io:46a8cb68-c9e3-4403-bd4d-fd9264d0c455

Hey, it's Alex, let me catch you up! Since last week, OpenAI convinced OpenClaw founder Peter Steinberger to join them, while keeping OpenClaw.. well... open. Anthropic dropped Sonnet 4.6 which nearly outperforms the previous Opus and is much cheaper, Qwen released 3.5 on Chinese New Year's Eve, while DeepSeek was silent and Elon and XAI folks deployed Grok 4.20 without any benchmarks, and it's 4 500B models in a trenchcoat? Also, Anthropic updated rules state that it's breaking ToS to use their plans for anything except Claude Code & Claude SDK (and then clarified that it's OK? we're not sure) Then Google decided to drop their Gemini 3.1 Pro preview right at the start of our show, and it's very nearly the best LLM folks can use right now (though it didn't pass Nisten's vibe checks) Also, Google released Lyria 3 for music gen (though only 30 seconds?) and our own Ryan Carson blew up on X again with over 1M views for his Code Factory article, Wolfram did a deep dive into Terminal Bench and .. we have a brand new website: https://thursdai.news

Today's guest is Stephen Wolfram, Founder and CEO of Wolfram Research. Wolfram is a pioneering computer scientist and physicist, best known for creating Mathematica and Wolfram|Alpha, and for decades of work on complexity, computation, and the foundations of how systems evolve. Stephen joins Emerj CEO and Head of Research Daniel Faggella to explore how simple computational rules can give rise to complex, unpredictable systems, and what that means for the future of intelligence beyond biological life. The conversation examines concepts like computational irreducibility, adaptive evolution, and "bulk orchestration" at the molecular and digital level, framing how AI systems, biological organisms, and even physical processes can be understood as part of a broader computational universe. Stephen also shares practical perspectives on how these ideas translate into real-world AI development, including why coarse, outcome-driven objectives often outperform overly rigid design in machine learning, how enterprises can think about building systems that evolve rather than simply execute, and what leaders should understand about the limits of predictability, governance, and control as AI becomes more deeply embedded in business workflows.

Leslie Looney is a professor of Astronomy at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. His research focuses on star formation, the early evolution of planets, and building the powerful telescopes and observational tools needed to explore our universe. In this episode, we explore how stars and planets come to life, why building a giant telescope on the Moon could lead to revolutionary discoveries, and the idea that the universe itself is fundamentally unimaginable.At the core of our conversation is one powerful idea: whether we're human, alien, or artificial, the mark of a truly advanced civilization is curiosity. The unstoppable desire to explore, discover, and understand our place in this vast, unimaginable universe.What are YOU curious about?EPISODE LINKS:Leslie Looney's Website: https://eeyore.astro.illinois.edu/Leslie Looney's UIUC Website: https://astro.illinois.edu/directory/profile/lwlOUTLINE:0:00 Preview1:16 Host intro4:11 What makes research “good”5:43 Would you go to space? + NASA / shuttle launch energy6:27 Gatekeeping8:49 Research vs teaching:9:44 R110:16 Why are students here?11:53 Modern astronomy13:29 His path: first-gen, low-income, didn't know “science” as a career → electrical engineering + physics14:58 Do you want a star named after you?17:01 Holy grail18:20 What is a star?20:05 Motion20:56 Baby stars22:02 Turbulence23:29 Big Bang24:25 Hydrogen26:20 Survival27:27 Scale29:06 Butterfly effect31:08 How small fluctuations made everything36:22 Gravity38:36 Dark energy40:03 Dyson sphere41:16 Expansion43:02 Meaning44:43 The next fundamental discovery: “we're not alone”46:34 Signals48:27 Messaging51:23 Civilization priorities52:33 Wonder57:06 Simulation59:33 Robots1:02:52 Moon telescope1:05:22 NASA stories1:08:21 Munich1:12:22 Astronomy as a career1:15:04 Independent research1:19:18 Open skies1:28:25 Advice for Young People

Hey, Alex from W&B here

Physics, the way we've thought about it for the last few hundred years, requires us to make assumptions about time.In our old way of thinking, just as we must assume three axes of space – scales along which we can measure what's where – so we must assume an axis of time – a scale along which we can measure what happens when.It doesn't matter whether, like Newton, we assume an absolute scale along which we can measure what happens when according to a giant clock in the sky, or whether, like Einstein, we assume a relative scale along which we can measure what happens when according to a tiny clock in each and every reference frame.Either way, we must assume an axis of time.Wolfram Physics, on the other hand, doesn't require us to make anyassumptions about time.We need only posit the application of rules to the nodes and edges of the hypergraph, and time emerges.The evolution of the hypergraph is time......which gives us a profound clue, not just to the nature of time, but to the nature of the universe.—ReferencesThe canonical mass of a neutron star is 1.4 solar massesThe mass of the Sun is 1.988416 × 10^30 kgThe mass of a neutron is 1.67492750056(85) × 10^-27 kgSo the number of neutrons in a neutron star, assuming neutron stars are made entirely of neutrons (which they're not), is 1.4 × 1.988416 × 10^30 kg / 1.67492750056(85) × 10^-27 kg ~ 10^57CreditsPulsar animation by Michael Kramer licensed under CC BY-SA 3.0Retina image by د.مصطفى الجزار licensed under CC BY-SA 3.0—The Last Theory is hosted by Mark Jeffery founder of Open Web MindI release The Last Theory as a video too!

Mit einer Community-Wunschfolge reisen Wolfram und Micha heute in die Mitte der 1990er, nach Neutropolis, wo Spaß offiziell untersagt ist. Im Adventure Normality von Gremlin Interactive landet Slacker Kent Knutson (!) im Hausarrest, weil er eine fröhliche Melodie pfeift. Daraufhin stolpert er in eine bizarre Dystopie aus Norm-Polizei, Shopping-Mall-Betäubung und Dauerfernsehen. Oha, das schreit doch nach Punk, Protest und Medienkritik?Wolfram und Micha gehen der Frage nach, warum ein damals eher randständiger Titel aus Sheffield so präzise Themen berührt, die 2025 wieder akut wirken: Kontrolle durch Unterhaltung, Konformitätsdruck, die Rebellion von Figuren, die keine klassischen Held*innen sind. Dabei geht es um britischen Humor zwischen Slacker-Ironie und Corey-Feldman-Overacting und um die feinen Linien zwischen Subkultur, Kommerzialisierung und Punk-Posen.Weil die Folge ein Wunsch aus der Community war, bleibt es nicht beim Close Reading eines einzelnen Spiels. Im letzten Drittel (naja, eigentlich auch Zwischendrin) driftet das Gespräch in einen entspannten Plausch über Popkultur ab: Welche 90er-Bilder und -Sounds kehren gerade wieder zurück? Warum funktionieren Spiele wie Normality als Zeitkapseln? Und weshalb tun sich Widerstand, Weirdness und „nicht normal sein“ heute vielleicht anders äußern als 1996? Yup, viele Fragen. Diese Folge ist für alle von euch, die Retro nicht nur als Nostalgie konsumieren wollen, sondern als Anlass, noch einmal neu auf Gegenwart und Vergangenheit zu schauen. Hosted on Acast.

Listen now on Apple, Spotify, and YouTube.—Wolfram is a Senior UX Designer and Researcher and has been working at TeamViewer for eight years.He has been driving and advancing UX Research at the company for nearly two years, developing it further together with a young but highly talented and motivated team. He has been deeply involved with Jobs-to-Be-Done for over a decade and considers himself a pragmatic JTBD practitioner.Before joining TeamViewer, he spent almost ten years in the Enterprise Content Management space and have been focusing on Multi-Device Experiences since the mid-2010s. He is the author of “Multiscreen UX Design” and has been passionately engaged in UX and design for around 25 years. His expertise lies in Jobs-to-Be-Done, hands-on and pragmatic UX research, as well as content design and content management. He regularly and enthusiastically participates in webinars, meetups, and conferences.Beyond UX and design, he enjoys photography, particularly nature and bird photography, and loves spending time with his family. In the past, he was an avid groundhopper, traveling across Europe with friends to attend football matches.In our conversation, we discuss:* Why it helps to think of every user action as a “job” with a real outcome, not just a task or step.* The messy overlap between jobs, goals, use cases, and what stakeholders think they want.* Why most teams start in the solution space and how to bring Jobs thinking in without derailing the train.* What an actual “job” sounds like in the wild, and how to spot one inside complaints, workarounds, and feature requests.* Why Wolfram keeps outcome-driven language like “minimize the time it takes to…” as a rule and how it makes your findings way more usable.Some takeaways:* Jobs to Be Done is a lens. Wolfram doesn't wait for permission to use JTBD thinking. Whether he's asked for a usability test or feedback on a feature, he still pulls out the job behind it. Why? Because understanding the job gives you reusable insights that don't die with the feature.* Stop obsessing over the perfect term. Stakeholders just need to get it. Wolfram avoids technical jargon like “JTBD” when introducing the concept. He uses terms they already know, like “use cases” or “problems,” so they're not thrown off. The focus is clarity, not vocabulary.* Your users are already giving you jobs, you just have to listen for them. Complaints, feature requests, emails, even rants. All of these hold clues about what someone was trying to do. If you dig in with curiosity (and a few “tell me more”s), you can usually find the real goal underneath the noise.* Do it late if you must but do it anyway. Sometimes research doesn't happen until the build is already underway. That doesn't mean you skip the problem space. Wolfram brings in JTBD insights midstream, not to stop the train, but to nudge it toward stronger value delivery and set up better decisions next time.* Your feature might flop but your jobs research won't go to waste. If the solution turns out to be unworkable or doesn't land, you don't have to throw away the research. JTBD insights stay valid. They're reusable, solution-agnostic, and can fuel the next iteration or a totally new idea.Where to find Wolfram:* Multiscreen UX Design (book)* Website* LinkedIn* Twitter/XStop piecing it together.

What if everything you know about reality, intelligence, science, aliens, and even your own body…is wrong? In this mind-expanding conversation of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Dr. Stephen Wolfram — the legendary computer scientist, theoretical physicist, mathematician, founder of Wolfram Research — reveals how the groundbreaking technologies he created are re-shaping our understanding of the universe itself. We dive into the limits of science, the secrets of biological evolution, and why computational irreducibility may explain why some mysteries of nature can never be predicted, only experienced. Dr. Wolfram breaks down whether his computations suggest humanity is cosmically significant…or completely insignificant in a universe built from the same atoms repeating the same rules everywhere. Discover why the objective reality you experience as a human might be totally different for other species, and why this could be the key to understanding alien intelligence, extrasensory perception, and why there might be alien minds all around us right now that we simply can't perceive. Dr. Stephen Wolfram also breaks down: - Does the body have its own language? (And, if so, what autoimmune disease might be “saying") - What can truly be built from random mutation, and why evolution even works at all - How reductionist science is limiting medicine, and how living matter actually behaves - Why AI may function as an alien mind, and what that reveals about the shocking simplicity of human language - What makes the human mind special, how we evolved this way, and why that very fact proves we are not the most advanced species possible - Do computers use a form of telepathy to communicate with one another? He even takes us behind the scenes of his work as a consultant on the hit film ARRIVAL, explaining how alien logograms connect to his research on how language shapes human thought, what abstract concepts a bigger brain could comprehend, and what kinds of ideas we might be biologically incapable of imagining. If you're fascinated by astrophysics, AI, consciousness, aliens, evolution, mathematics, language, or the limits of human understanding, this episode of MBB will challenge everything you think you know!

      Between Erwin Broers & Paul Asbury Seaman I have been exposed to a ton of excellent berlin-school music over the last couple years. Erwin continues his great string of mixes with this new one featuring the music of Wolfram Spyra. I was totally unfamiliar with this music before hearing this mix and now I'm thankful for the introduction. Here's what Erwin says about this mix: "In the mid-1990s, when interest for 'Kosmische Musik' (German)/'Cosmic Music' (English) regained, some Electronic Music artists chose to dig deeper into that first highly creative era, hence starting the 'Retro Berlin School' subgenre. Other artists merely borrowed certain elements (multi-facetted sequencing, layered soundscapes, space fx, Mellotron choirs,...) and then added their own spices to the sauce.  One of the artists that managed to create his own style of contemporary "Berlin School Electronic Music" is the German Fine Arts student (then), and musician, inventor and sound designer (now, dixit his own website) Wolfram Spyra (Kassel, 1964), aka "Der Spyra" or simply "Spyra". His style is somewhere between floating, rhythmic, meditative, downtempo and groovy, yes almost danceable. A very interesting blend of old skool and modern electronic ingredients! This mix is a chronological overview of 20 years of releases from 1997 till 2018."

We're re-releasing one of our most popular episodes, an important conversation with Wolfram syndrome expert Dr. Fumi Urano.   We're bringing this episode back in honor of Diabetic Eye Disease Month, and because it's the perfect follow-up to our last episode featuring Dr. Rachel Hyman and our very own co-host Cathy Gildenhorn as guests. Their experiences with the milder, adult-onset variant of Wolfram syndrome sparked so much interest, we knew this episode needed another moment in the spotlight. You'll hear Cathy interview Dr. Urano, her lead physician, about symptoms, diagnosis, and promising research underway to help people with rare neurodegenerative disorders like Wolfram syndrome.   We are thrilled to have Dr. Fumihiko Urano on “It Happened To Me” as he is our co-host Cathy's lead doctor, for her variant of the rare disease, Wolfram Syndrome.    Fumihiko “Fumi” Urano, MD, Ph.D., is a Physician and Medical Researcher specializing in Wolfram syndrome, characterized by juvenile-onset diabetes, vision loss, and neurodegeneration. Dr. Urano is a Professor of Medicine and Pathology & Immunology, an attending physician at Endocrinology Genetics Clinic, and currently holds Samuel E. Schechter Endowed Professorship in Medicine at Washington University Medical Center, St. Louis, USA. Dr. Urano is a driving force in the study of Wolfram syndrome and Related Disorders, including WFS1-related disorders/Wolfram-like disorders. As the Director of the Wolfram Syndrome and Related Disorders Clinic and Study at Washington University Medical Center, Dr. Urano has been leading the clinical, translational, and interventional studies of Wolfram syndrome and Related disorders. Dr. Urano's collaboration with colleagues at the medical center and around the world has allowed him to develop cutting-edge treatments for this disease, including gene therapy and regenerative therapy.    Learn more on their Wolfram syndrome website, wolframsyndrome.wustl.edu. If you want to reach out directly you can contact the Research Nurse Coordinator Stacy Hurst, RN, CDE by calling 314-747-3294 or emailing shurst@wustl.edu.    During the episode Dr. Urano mentioned two episodes of “It Happened To Me”: during this episode. The first was our interview with Dr. Gladstone in Episode 5. He also gave a shoutout to our conversation with Stephanie Snow Gebel (Snow Foundation) in Episode 9.    Stay tuned for the next new episode of “It Happened To Me”!

In this insightful episode of It Happened To Me, hosts Beth Glassman and Cathy Gildenhorn (in a rare guest role!) sit down with Dr. Rachel Hyman, a clinical psychologist from Seattle whose experience with Wolfram syndrome was recently featured in The Washington Post here. Wolfram syndrome is a rare genetic disorder that affects vision, blood sugar regulation, and neurological function. Often diagnosed in childhood, it can present very differently from one person to another, and in this episode, we hear from two women living with a milder, adult-onset form of the condition, most common among those of Ashkenazi Jewish descent. Rachel and Cathy open up about the long diagnostic odyssey, early symptoms that were misunderstood, and how it feels to finally have a genetic explanation after years of uncertainty. They share how they've each learned to adapt, from managing diabetes and vision loss to embracing new technologies that restore independence. Their stories highlight the power of self-advocacy, medical persistence, and community, reminding listeners that awareness is often the first step toward better care and future research. In This Episode, You'll Learn: What Wolfram syndrome is and how symptoms are on a spectrum  Rachel's diagnostic journey from gestational diabetes to genetic confirmation Cathy's daily strategies for living with vision loss, pre-diabetes, and sensory changes The role of technology and accessibility tools in maintaining independence How emotional resilience and community support help patients face uncertain prognoses The critical importance of genetic testing and awareness for rare neurodegenerative diseases Hope for the future of Wolfram research and patient advocacy About the Guests Dr. Rachel Hyman Rachel Hyman is a clinical psychologist based in the Seattle area. She specializes in working with older teens and young adults navigating anxiety and depression and serves as adjunct faculty at Antioch University, where she supervises doctoral students in psychology. Rachel's personal journey with Wolfram syndrome was featured in The Washington Post, shedding light on this underrecognized condition and the importance of accurate genetic diagnosis. Cathy Gildenhorn Usually behind the mic as co-host of It Happened To Me, Cathy joins this episode as a guest to share her own journey with Wolfram syndrome. She has devoted much of her life to improving the lives of others and connecting women to Jewish life and each other. She has served on several local, national and international boards and currently serves on the board of the Florence Melton School of Adult Jewish Learning. Cathy also served as presidential appointee to the United States Holocaust Memorial Council. While a council member, she worked on the opening of the museum.  Recommended Resources  Jewish Wolfram Network Johns Hopkins' The Wilmer Eye Institute Wolfram Syndrome and Related Disorders Clinic and Study at Washington University Medical Center The Snow Foundation   Relevant Episodes  #3 Wolfram Syndrome with Cathy Gildenhorn #9 Wolfram Syndrome with Stephanie Gebel Snow #18 Hattersley-Urano Wolfram Syndrome with Parent Tamara Blum #21 Wolfram Syndrome with Parent Pat Gibilisco #26 Wolfram Syndrome Expertise from Dr. Fumihiko Urano   Stay tuned for the next new episode of “It Happened To Me”!
