I bet there is too! But I think it is also hard to form this community. Given the increased friction from the general community I think it might be time to put serious effort in determining how to make this a reality.
I don't have a great idea for it tbh. I'll pitch a bad one at least to put something out there. Maybe we can convince some billionaire to perform a post scarcity experiment? To buy large chunk of land, gather people who have both high passion and expertise in domains, and let them run wild. Less like Star Trek and more like Eureka[0]. I don't think it is a realistic expectation to get billionaire funding, but I think the idea of looking at something like Eureka (or this category of groups you see in many Sci-Fi stories) is worth drawing inspiration from: effectively post scarce (possible on small scale?), high levels of freedom (very doable), high levels of creativity and expressiveness (this is the experiment, to see if it is decreased/maintained/increased).
Unfortunately a quick Google indicated difficulty finding clarity on his importance outside his Wolfram association.
I think the comment you replied to is asking for groups or individuals of note and independent but working with Wolfram on the merits of his/their research. Your link didn't shed more light I think.
On yesterday’s live stream[0] on Stephen Wolfram’s Twitch the team went through several improvement proposals to functions in WolframAlpha, including QuantumCircuitOperator which is a variant of a String Diagram.
Before this I didn’t know Stephen hosted “Live CEOing” sessions and now I wish this was the norm!
I just noticed this setting on macOS System Settings > Apple ID > Contact Key Verification (at the bottom):
>Verify who you are messaging with by comparing contact verification codes in person or over the phone. In conversations with people who also have contact key verification turned on, you will see a message if contact key verification detects an issue or is turned off.
