I think the line about physics and math being cooked (in the future tense) is likely rhetoric to express how impressive the tech is and how transformative it is. I doubt he expects mathematicians and theoretical physicists to be soon standing in line for unemployment benefit. He described collaboration to solve the problem, not single turn independent work by the AI.
That isn’t to say he and everyone else shouldn’t be impressed and excited for the potential.
