Physicist Angela Collier critiques 'vibe physics', the idea that non-experts or billionaires can make scientific discoveries by chatting with AI chatbots, drawing a parallel with vibe coding.

HN points to it as a takedown of AI-assisted amateur physics, though a few commenters push back on it.

Do you have a background in math and physics, or are you another person who would benefit from watching Angela Collier's vibe physics video? ▶ this video

He doesn’t. I think it’s the same mental phenomena that Gell-Mann Amnesia works off of. That interview is practically radioactive levels of cringe for several reasons. This is an excellent takedown of it: ▶ this video
