"Solve quantum physics" meaning generating closed-form solutions to the Schrodinger equation for atoms of any composition? Of arbitrary molecules? Good luck with that... Even for the hydrogen atom, the textbook said "so it happens that <some polynomial function I'd never heard of before> just so happens to solve this equation", instead of the derivations one would normally expect. I doubt we have even invented the math to solve the equations much above the hydrogen atom, assuming that a closed-form solution is even theoretically possible.
I think Altman has been getting mentored by Musk. I think we'll get full self-driving Teslas before quantum mechanics is "solved", though, and I am not expecting that in the foreseeable future.
