I was trying to plot the probability curves for a TTRPG system I was writing a while ago. The tool I needed was the Binomial Formula, but I didn't know that, so I spent an evening "discovering" it from first principles. I guess I'm a maths genius according to Wolfram 😂

I am 100% confident Wolfram spends his time nowadays chatting to the most sycophantic LLM he can find...or train on his own fantastic material. And claim it as his own creation, of course.

"I am my own reality check" is the sort of thing usually spoken by people whose reality check has just bounced.
