I have been dreaming of this moment for a very long time. Our robot got good enough to play games with humans and win, whilst also being fun to play with. I am so so happy this is out & very grateful I got to work on this with so many wonderful & talented people. 👇 for details.

I hugely admire Stephanie, she inspires me in multiple ways -- her intellect, technical rigour, curiosity, creativity, kindness & sense of fun. To name a few. It takes courage to share something like this. It's well worth a read, especially if you struggle with imposter syndrome.

Some years ago, I got trapped in a Massive Trough of Imposter Syndrome. It took more than a year to dig myself out of it, but the following framework really helped me. It feels a bit vulnerable to share, but I hope it might help a few others too! A short thread 🧵🙂.
