People reminded me that the Vitalik Buterin nomination was not for THE Nobel Prize but another prize created by bankers by the same name. Ok but take a look at THE Nobel Prize and who they awarded.@timnitGebru That's a pretty gross mischaracterization of that research and a complete fabrication about how at least Simon and Daron have looked at colonialism, which they have decried in the strongest terms.

oh my…. https://www.cnn.com/2024/10/08/science/nobel-prize-physics-hopfield-hinton-machine-learning-intl/index.html@UlrikeHahn Totally agree, this just seems like the Nobel folks wanted to give him something but knew that they don't have a category that fits the work. If there was a computer science prize it would make sense of course (even if I don't like Hinton's recent statements)
