Said on Lex Fridman Podcast

“I would argue that a large part of that is how nice natural data is. It's kind of like there's the saying in physics that nature abhors a vacuum. I guess my version of it is that in some sense, nature abhors computationally hard problems.” — Ankur Moitra, Lex Fridman Podcast

“We solved the million-dollar math problem. There's a trillion-dollar engineering problem, which is like, how do you predict these things in a fast, efficient way and do this inverse design? That's a much harder problem.” — Steven Brunton, Lex Fridman Podcast

“I gave a colloquium in the Princeton math department where I explained in painstaking detail what Lean is, what Mathlib is… And everything I said in that colloquium was wrong. And I think my colloquium was on a Wednesday. On Friday, there was a drop of 13 million lines of code from the axioms. Fermat's last theorem is proved.” — Alex Kontorovich, Lex Fridman Podcast
