Only a handful scientists on earth ever earn the distinction of winning a Nobel Prize, a once-in-a-lifetime achievement forever etched into the annals of history. This made it that much more extraordinary that Geoffrey Hinton spoke for barely more than a minute before trashing the CEO of OpenAI during an ad hoc press briefing convened in honor of his award.

U.S. scientist John Hopfield and British-Canadian colleague Geoffrey Hinton won the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics for discoveries and inventions that laid the foundation for machine learning, the award-giving body said on Tuesday.

Until this year, the Nobel Prize for physics has typically gone to pioneers in that field, like last year’s winners who used lasers to make breakthrough discoveries about the electron. But 2024 is the year of artificial intelligence, and apparently the hype has reached even the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.
