Two great questions for Twitter to answer. Reply in the thread:

#1) What single book is the best introduction to your field (or specialization within your field) for laypeople? https://t.co/M9QHmmQnxA

#2) What is the critical book for your hobby/passion? https://t.co/pLjBeHzQNf https://t.co/J47UV6S4tY

1/3 Google acquired DeepMind for >$500 Mn in 2014.

DeepMind Revenue in 2020 was $1.13 Bn (vs $361 Mn in 2019). It also posted $60 Mn profit and had ~1k employees in 2020.

I became curious about DeepMind after listening to Demis Hassabis' interview on Lex Fridman podcast.
