This is legitimately deserved though.

#4While I am skeptical about yesterdays award in physics, these are totally deserved and spot on. There are few approaches that will accelerate the field of drug development and chemistry as a whole in a way that the works of these three people will. Congratulations!

Maybe the transformers authors will win Literature.

#6The physics prize was a stretch of the definition of the word "physics", but this one is purely about chemistry.

#8David Baker (and colleagues) have always done good work. I guess google have done some things also.
(lol - one of the PDF attachments to that page is 'Illustration: A string of amino acids' : actually it's a bit better than the title implies :).
Actually, Figure 2 - "How does AlfaFold2 Work?" is impressive to fit that on one page. Nice.

#9And the literature Nobel will go for ChatGPT

I was just wondering when they were going to award the alphafold2 guys the nobel after after seeing Hinton win the physics one. 100% agree, all three of them totally deserve this one. Baker's lab is pretty much keeping Deepmind in check at this point and ensuring open source research is keeping up. Hats off
