Claude Unleashed: BootLoops for Vibe Physics

🔥 What happened Prof. Matthew Schwartz stopped fighting Claude and started hunting for “Claude-shaped” problems. The result: BootLoops, an open-source toolkit for exact calculations in physics – which then surfaced connections to ecology, population genetics, and a dozen other fields. 💡 Why it matters Instead of math puzzles, AI now tackles real scientific problems that used to take research groups years. Schwartz says Claude Opus 4.5 performs like a strong grad student at 20x the speed. The catch: without domain experts, the AI stays technically correct but scientifically unremarkable. ⚡ Our take The “impedance mismatch” between scientists and AI is real – but BootLoops proves we must stop treating AI like a human. Anyone still writing every line themselves will lose to teams that hand Claude the right problems.
