Great to see intellectual talent being recognized like this! The contributions AI researchers make to the progress of society are enormous.

For me, the interesting aspect of this is that knowledge workers can stretch another 20+ years out of their careers vs. professional athletes. How long until we see a W9-minted billionaire?
