Sir Demis Hassabis is the most dangerous CEO alive:. • Chess prodigy at age 4.• Knighted in 2023 for services to AI.• Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2024. He now leads Google's DeepMind AI. His vision of the next 10 years will terrify you 🧵

Winding down (or up?) as we get ready to welcome our second kiddo to the family. I'll be offline for the next little while, but if you're planning projects for August or September, I’m starting to book for then and would love to connect. See you on the other side 🫡.
