In this Lex Freidman interview, Eric Weinstein (a bit kooky) explains his view on the trenches of advanced mathematics/physics: ▶ this video He goes into depths about the problems right now in academia
You'd probably be interested in watching Ray Dalios recent interview: link Here's a good one from Eric Weinstein. The whole interview is good (about AI), but at the end he discusses this kind of issue (time is bookmarked): ▶ this video This is part of a good lecture by Dr. Jordan Peterson on IQ, AI, and how AI is and will continue to displace people who will have no means to work to support themselves: link
He doesn't consider himself a physicist either.[1] [1] ▶ this video At 33:45 of the podcast after he gives the kinetic-potential energy analogy to describe his distrust of Pinker's optimism.
