That's not to say the methods and advances in strength theory don't exist, but they certainly weren't able to immediately solve all the problems they thought they could solve. But it has given us tools. It has given us some insights. But it becomes almost a sociological question of like how much it should be one or the other. I do think that you can get caught up in the problems themselves.
And sometimes you can get caught up in the methods and just sort of do other examples. So the real physics insights often come from people who are thinking about physics as well as math.

That's a great question. And it depends on what kind of insights and we're going to find that out. I mean, you know, because it's hard to think about something that doesn't quite exist yet.

I mean, I could just think about something, take a step back, you know, it's a little bit like trying to understand four dimensions, you go back to three dimensions, you know, so to go to something you can imagine. So you can sort of say a lot of the things in a very different level about the Internet. You could say, you know, has the Internet helped do things?

And that's, you know, it definitely took on a life of its own in some sense. But it's also something that we're able to tame. You know, I know that I myself wouldn't have been able to write books if the Internet didn't exist because I wouldn't have had the time to go to the library and look everything up. And it helped me enormously. And in some sense, AI could be that in a very nice world.

It could be a tool that helps us go a step further than we would and a lot more efficiently. And it's already done that to some extent. Or it could be like the parts of the internet that we can't control that are ruining politics or whatever. And there's certainly a lot of indications that can do that.

Then there are even bigger things that, you know, people speculate about, about AI being able to do its own things. But in terms of actually figuring things out, you know, we're in the early stages.

So large language models are more or less like generalizations of stuff that we have. So the question is, so there's still breakthroughs in AI waiting to happen, and maybe they are happening, and maybe they'll be good, maybe not. But that's not quite the same. I mean, maybe in some cases, it's just pattern recognition that leads to important things.
