  “There’s plenty of space at the bottom” only really took off in popularity decades later. Feynman’s accomplishments are undeniable, Nobel prize and all, but his celebrity status is given by other aspects of his personality. No Feynman equivalent I can think of is alive today. Perhaps Geoffrey Hinton and his views on the risk of AGI? He’s far from the only one of course.
