It's Wolfram. If they didn't claim to invent something fundamental in the first paragraph, I'd immediately assume the site was hacked or it's a poorly timed April fools joke written by an intern.

Yes, he is a narcissist. Smart guy, cool products, but it's just like how Trump cannot talk about anything without shoehorning in a statement like "I got more votes than any sitting president ever" when being asked about something completely unrelated.

My favorite example is when Caltech put out a press release about a young woman got her PhD and nearly beat Wolfram's record for youngest PhD from Caltech. He felt immediately compelled to write a long winded several-thousand word essay about how glad he is to still have the record for being the youngest PhD, by a full two weeks! And also, he wanted to remind everyone that he knew Richard Feynman. Cringe...

That sounds quite sad. Just like bragging about high-school. At 36.
