CricketForJapaCongratulations to Demis Hassabis and John Jumper on being awarded the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for protein structure prediction.
CricketForJapaI Demis wrote the foreword on Natasha's book on AI and chess.
NatashaReganYeah! Demis plays shogi doesn't he if I'm remembering right
NatashaReganHe definitely played some go as well as chess, and i think some shogi too..!
CricketForJapaI doubt Demis will have time to join the English player Shogi mornings at the moment. He must inundated with the press for news articles.
CricketForJapaDid you ever meet with Demis?
degringoladeI played against his team once
degringoladeI seem to remember discussions along the lines of: "why isn't Demis improving at chess?"
NatashaReganI see Demis each year at the Mind Sports Olympiad. Saw him much more when we were writing the book of course
CricketForJapaI think he was too busy with other topics to take his chess further.
degringolademorning! I have a few chores I have to get done this morning.
degringoladeI will try to drop in for the final 30mins
NatashaReganWe did this interview and I had prepared a list of about 10 questions which we sent him in advance. He was incredible, I asked the first...
CricketForJapaWinning in the noble prize must be a life changer. Although he was fairly famous already due to google deep mind.
NatashaRegan..question and he just talked for 1.5 hours, interesting the whole way
NatashaReganYeah amazing,, and we wait and see what the AI can do with the protein folding
CricketForJapaOK, I will search for that interview online.
NatashaReganThat was the interview in Game Changer
