I do not criticize them for having FOMO. But I have my doubts when it is the 60-year-olds that are the most enthusiastic about something new (as long as it is not a new ABBA album), given the number of grifters out there. And there would have been many others that also deserve a Nobel, those three could easily have waited another 20 years. If it really was those that had the highest impact the last year who won the prize, it (or rather "Medicine") should have gone to GLP-1/Semaglutide research.

Right but this is a paradigm shift. If anything the 60 year-olds dumped on AI. Statisticians dumped on AI. Cybernetics/engineers all dumped on it. Just like everyone dumped on mRNA vaccines. I do agree with you about GLP-1 though that's legit as is the HIV vaccine.

But still the way forward is computational thinking that is very clear.
