I really enjoyed videos from this YouTuber on real physics stuff, like "why you can't explain QCD."

It's great to have somebody that actually understands physics at a deep level also be able to communicate to popular audiences, and to respond to the AI mania.

Also, it's really easy to see why CEOs love vibe coding, vibe physics, because it's extremely similar how they often interact with actual real people with real skills that can accomplish things and build the foundations of the companies that CEOs run. But AI is also great at tricking the consumer, being obsequious, and maximizing the happiness of the human component rather than maximizing utility by being accurate and correct. So this is all going to come crashing down.

And coding in particular is the most likely to work, because it's translation of languages. When it comes to the physical world and science, lol.

Coding is a little more than just translation. Its the modeling or abstracting of real word (or imaginary) objects/processes/state and with that comes the messy task of actually understanding the thing you try to model or abstract. Thats what AI might always miss, why humans better stay in the loop.
