Here's our conversation with Demis Hassabis. Demis, welcome to Possible. It was awesome dining with you at Queens. It was kind of a special moment in all kinds of ways. And, you know, I think I'm going to start with a question that kind of came from your Babbage Theater lecture and also from the Fireside Chat that you did with Mohamed El-Erian, which is...

Share with us the moment where you went from thinking chess is the kind of the thing that I have spent my childhood doing to what I want to do is start thinking about thinking. I want to accelerate the process of thinking and that computers are a way to do that. And how did you arrive at that? What age were you? What was that? What was that? What was that turn into the into metacognition?

And go a little bit into the deep learning, which obviously is part of the reason why DeepMind was name-boarded is because part of, I think, that what would seem to be completely contrarian hypothesis that you guys played out with self-play and kind of learning system was that this learning approach was the right way to generate these significant systems.
