Those physicists were putting down philosophers, not philosophy.
He then complains that physicists talk about Popper instead of subsequent work on paradigm shifts.
Maybe that is because the work on paradigm shifts is just too stupid to discuss.
Finally he thinks that physicists should quit philosophizing about string theory, and join the fight against homeopaths and psychics.
I could get that criticism also -- why do I attack bogus physics when there are so many more bogus things to attack?
Sorry, I have no knowledge or interest in homeopaths and psychics.
The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy is a useful resource. It has articles by philosophers, as opposed to Wikipedia, which allows editing by anyone.
If you want to see how philosophy has degenerated, see this comment:

There are a total of thirty-seven articles devoted to feminism and feminist issues in the SEP. I have omitted from the above list (complete) articles devoted to a number of significant feminist philosophers and thinkers.
There is no agreement in these articles on what term feminism means, nor is there any anti-feminism view described.
Camille Paglia has spoken out quite harshly against the pseudo intellectualism of third wave feminism, which she claims is basically nothing more than blatant misandry and grievance pandering. Guess how she is being treated for expressing her views?

Ms. Paglia is quite annoyed with modern day feminists who are teaching young women to consider themselves historical and perpetual victims of masculinity and who must be protected and coddled by the state from their own poor life choices.
