You have no idea that New Zealand even exists. |
Don't tell him that. |
Why do you say words like that? |
And speaking of, AI won big at this year's Nobel Prizes. |
The prize for chemistry was awarded |
to American biochemist David Baker, |
as well as Demi Hassabi |
and John Jumper of Google DeepMind |
for their involvement in the development |
of protein structure prediction AI AlphaFold. |
They're doing chemistry, I guess. |
The prize for physics went to |
professors John Hopfield and Jeffrey Hinton |
whose work laid the foundation for modern neural networks. |
This is confusing. |
All science is just AI now. |
You know, AI, physics. |
And the Nobel Prize for Biology is going to go to Boston Dynamics. |
Hinton, often called one of the godfathers of AI |
has expressed regrets about his life's work, |
and was reportedly flabbergasted to receive the prize. |
You and me both. |
Many in the scientific community were equally flabbergasted |
with German physicist Sabine Hassenfelder, and also a youtuber now, noting |
that the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics |
wasn't even being awarded to an achievement in physics. |
But she seems just kind of grumpy all the time. |
So I can see that. |
But your award for sitting through an entire episode |
is an invitation to come back on Friday for more tech news. |
We're going to do the same thing. |
But different. |
