two years too late:

Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2024

The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2024 was divided, one half awarded to David Baker "for computational protein design", the other half jointly to Demis Hassabis and John Jumper "for protein structure prediction"

Whole troupes of shitgibbons.

And the thing about tradespeople - unless the robot can make cups of builder-strength tea, it's going nowhere.

It’s funny how Tech Bro founders can stand up and say “I made a million dollar company”, completely ignoring the fact their whole team did the work but they don’t count, while the AI product they made is considered a co-author.

Sounds like bullshit.

I also like: "AI Company Shill Desperately Saying Any Old Shit In The Hope Of Keeping Bubble Around Their Never-Going-To-Actually-Be-Profitable Bullshit Machines Inflated Just A Little While Longer".

But eh, I can see it's probably a little wordy for these times.

Strictly speaking, companies are not able to claim copyrights for work, which is not completely based on the human mind.
Based as in, they can't let an AI create a prototype and then start from there. This would make any product derived from it unprotected by copyrights for these parts.

Nobel prices might follow a similar logic.

As in, sounds impressive but effectively impossible to prove. Prizes tend to lag discoveries by decades - even if this nonsense proved true, it could well be 2050 before we'd know it.
