And now it's just like Googling something.

You just look it up in this database where all of the shapes have been stored for you by DeepMind.

So it saves you a lot of time.

Yes, it's interesting.

I mean, DeepMind was the original AI discovery lab set up in 2010.

And then when OpenAI, which is maybe a bit more famous, especially in the US, was created in 2015, it was basically a copy of DeepMind.

And then Anthropic, also famous, came five years after that.

And so DeepMind was the original, and it was set up by this guy, Demis Hassabis, who is a British of, you know, Silicon Valley folks like to say they've got the melting pot.

This guy had a Chinese Singaporean mother and a Greek Cypriot father, which makes him a classic Londoner.

And he believed in AI, he believed it was going to work, and he set up DeepMind in London in 2010.

Yeah, so when he was about four or five years old, he climbed up on a chair and watched his dad playing chess and instantly understood the game.

And then within a year or two, he was playing in tournaments at chess.

And then a few years later, he was the best youth player in Britain and was the captain of the team and the second best player worldwide.

And then he decided that chess wasn't enough for him.

And he branched into coding and he wrote a video game design, which sold like 5 million copies before he was 18.

And then the boss of the video game design studio said, hey, you're so good at this.

I'll give you more than a million bucks if you just stay with me and work with me and you don't go to college.

And he said, no, I'm going to college.

And he went and did computer science.

Well, the extraordinary thing is that Demis Hassabis had this vision that you could build powerful AI really, really early.
