Kissinger got a Nobel Peace Prize for napalming infants. I wouldn’t put it past them to give Altman one for using more electricity than most countries on glorified autocomplete.
Christmas 1972 saw heavy bombing raids carried out over the North Vietnamese capital Hanoi by American B-52 bombers. All over the world, thousands of people took to the streets in protest. The man who ordered the bombing was at the same time spearheading cease-fire negotiations. The armistice took effect in January 1973, and the same autumn Henry Kissinger was awarded the Peace Prize together with his counterpart Le Duc Tho. The latter refused to accept the Prize, and for the first time in the history of the Peace Prize two members left the Nobel Committee in protest.
not sure that napalming babies is a historically accurate telling of the events. But uh, satire predicts reality i suppose.
To be fair, mRNA vaccines are largely possible due to AI, and not just any AI, but similar approaches that LLMs use. They took NLP (natural language processing) concepts, which were the precursor to today’s LLMs, to generate a bunch of possibilities. That’s how we were able to get COVID-19 vaccines so quickly, and we’re likely to use that for a ton of other diseases going forward.
It’s not that far-fetched that similar techniques could be used to cure cancer.
i believe a lot of protein sequencing has been done by AI models as well. It’s a huge boon to specific science industry where you simply need LARGE breadths of processing power, which is traditionally too expensive for humans.
“Cure cancer or whatever”
Fuck all the way off, Altman. You oversell a text generator. You’re not getting a Nobel prize for that.

The war was well on its way to ending in 1968 before Kissinger sabotaged the negotiations to help Nixon beat Humphrey.
