TabulAI founder Bojan Tunguz says AI automation of high-energy theoretical physics is no threat to an already unproductive field

It’s actually a great time to be a theoretical Physicist rn ngl. No feeling of a loss of identity because AI is gonna take over the field. The whole field of high energy theoretical physics has been totally overtaken by crackpots for over half a century. I’m like “Oh you want to come in and take over utterly pointless and useless activity from the current practitioners? LOL, go ahead, be my guest. Spend all your tokens on it if you will. Consume a Lake Michigan worth of water to cool off every day.”
