Two Nobel Prizes for AI, and Two Paths Forward
(The science awards potentially restore momentum to fields that may have been starved for either attention or funding, although merit is of primary value to them. Controversy would also be reinforcing in that respect. AI as influencer is interesting. The inverse might be disinformation and deepfakes in politics. Look out for emails from Feynman in the quantum multiverse that he discounted. Or Fermi outside the box.)

Please read Nick Moran's comments on Aaronson's blog" / X
