This comment managed to blow my mind. Are we really trying to say the cofounder of DEEPMIND is too stupid / incompetent to have graduated from Oxford and came up with a charity as a front for it?
- qeternity 5y agoHe was a childhood friend of Demis. The cofounder title seems to be less profound here.
- password321 5y agoOk so the new theory is that there is nepotism present at DeepMind thanks to Demis Hassabis.
- qeternity 5y agoThat’s not at all what I suggested. It seems like you just want an argument. Let me explain again slower: you implied that him being cofounder conferred some level of competence to him. I’m saying that he’s not really a cofounder in the traditional sense of the word, and so maybe that title doesn’t carry as much weight here.

- bluepizza 5y agoNot really about being stupid or incompetent, but about managing workload, subjects, pressure. A lot of people don't deal very well with this, especially young students. He was not the cofounder of Deepmind while he was a student. That happened afterwards.
- didibus 5y agoThat's absolutely possible, I don't know why people think entrepreneurship requires a high level of intellect, it doesn't really. Not to say this guy is stupid, I just don't see why you'd associate founding a company with intellect?
