Nah, it’s just Wolfram being Wolfram. He was generating this scale and style of content well before LLMs were a thing. He usually has some interesting ideas buried in the massive walls of text he creates. Some people can’t get past the style and personality though (I can’t blame them…).

false; wolfram has been circling the topic of "small yet mighty" rule-based systems for decades, and this is his writing style. if you don't like the topic or the style, you are welcome to move on from it with whatever grace you can muster up.

Nah, that's just how Stephen Wolfram writes. He also really enjoys telling us how great he is, and does so in every piece he writes.

I don't think much of Wolfram's writing, but this seems to me to be just the way that scientists write. I wouldn't blink if I encountered it in a scientific paper. (Well, I'm a mathematician, so I don't know for sure what experimental-science or even theoretical CS papers look like, but I certainly wouldn't blink if I encountered it in a math paper.)
