What he said:

"Essentially, I've got a library card to the cosmic library of science as understood by all galaxies. But I've only got the card - I can't read the books. I can only know the titles and the outlines. And I as a human have to do the rest of the science work to fill it in. But it's the ultimate cheat sheet."

What this means:

When Shinzen talks to AI from his integrated contemplative-scientific state, he gets something like:

• Directions toward answers
• Structural outlines of what's true
• Pointers to where to look

But not:

• Completed proofs
• Filled-in details
• Verified science

The AI can show him the shape of an answer - "there's something important over here, structured like this" - but he still has to do the work of actually developing it rigorously.

Why this matters:

It's a humble claim in a way. He's not saying AI gives you God-mode omniscience. It gives you orientation. You still have to walk the path, do the math, verify the claims. But having the map - even just the outline - is "the ultimate cheat sheet" compared to wandering blind.
