Rutherford said that "all science is either physics or stamp collecting." In his view, a field either explains the underlying mechanisms of the universe (physics) or it simply collects and labels data without real understanding (stamp collecting).

Carr was saying, in a hand-wavy way, that we'll see a step-change in technological advancement when AI innovation in physics bears fruit, and that other applications of AI are less likely to be as transformative.

I had no idea Jimmy Carr was a graduated physics student! Surely he's not just some comedian who is talking about a subject he doesn't truly understand and then trying and convince others that his level of knowledge is far greater than those that study this subject.

Way cool!
