With support from Stripe, we ask technologists, ambitious builders, and deep thinkers to help us sketch out the brightest version of the future, and we learn what it'll take to get there.

In 2020, a team of researchers at DeepMind successfully created a model called AlphaFold that could predict how proteins will fold. This model helped answer one of the holy grail questions of biology. How does a long line of amino acids configure itself into a 3D structure that becomes the building block of life itself?

In October 2024, three scientists involved with AlphaFold won a Nobel Prize for these efforts. This is just one of the striking achievements spearheaded by our guest today.

Reid and I sat down for an interview with Demis in which we talked about everything from game theory to medicine to multimodality and the nature of innovation and creativity.

I mean, it's so funny. I was saying to read before this, my seven year old school just won the New York State Chess Championship. So they have a long way to go before they get to you. But he takes it on faith like, oh, yeah, mom, I'm just going to go play chess kid on the computer. Like I'll go play against the computer a few games, which, of course, was sort of a revelation sort of decades ago.

And I remember, you know, when I was in middle school, it was obviously the deep blue versus Garry Kasparov. And this was like a man versus machine moment. And one thing that you've gestured at about this moment is that it illustrated, like in this case, based on Grandmaster Data, it was like brute force versus like a self-learning system. Can you say more about that dichotomy?
