And once you start playing with the coding side of the products, I can see the confidence in it.

But to what extent... A company can always pivot and you can be like, that claim is bullshit, but they still will find something else that works and that's great for them.

So you don't want to short the company or anything like that.

How do you call them out a little bit when they're overzealous, if that overzealousness can hurt

On the flip side, though, I found that the agentic coding, vibe coding capabilities are just amazing because you can have all these little daydreams of how you want to interact with the physics paper.

And before, when I was a perimeter, they were supportive of me trying to use some of my grant money or startup money to hire some interns from local universities to code something up.

I was a shitty coder, so I'm not good at managing people at tasks that I don't know whether I'm asking them to do.

And then I was so bad, I couldn't even basically host this thing locally to show people what it was.

And within a few weeks, I could basically redev the same thing with Cloud Code, which is amazing.

So I...

I kind of see that sometimes that hype or that push can drive a product to a level where, like, now I don't need to hire a dev team.

As a physicist, I can start to play around with things that I couldn't have done if I didn't know how to code myself.

There's skill sets that are open to me because it's been kind of democratized.

So I'm grateful to that.

And that's a bit in tension with my kind of err about, like, we're going to solve physics and then it might, like, take the funny way.

So, yeah.

Well, at least like, thank you.

No, but this thing is, that's the question is like, what does it mean to solve physics?

I want to make sure we have the same definition of that.

Because I do think that it would be hard to imagine actually solving physics to the extent where like, until you build an experiment, you can't rule out spaces of theories.
