“This book develops the mathematical tools essential to describe interacting systems and predict their behavior. From predator-prey populations in an ecosystem, to hormone regulation within the body, the natural world abounds in dynamical systems that affect us profoundly. Complex feedback relations and counter-intuitive responses are common in nature; this book develops the quantitative skills needed to explore these interactions.”

I’ve been working towards AGI my whole life, and as we enter this pivotal moment, I’m stepping into a new role as Chair of Google DeepMind & Chief Scientist of Alphabet. This will allow me to focus on long-term strategy, and accelerating scientific breakthroughs, including leaning into my work at Isomorphic to help cure disease.
I’m excited that @koraykv will be stepping up to lead GDM as SVP, alongside @joshwoodward and our exec team. I could not be more excited and confident about our amazing next chapter! 🚀

I’ve completed 4 more chapters in this book. Bro this is some crazy and scary stuff I never knew why neuroscience is so hard to understand every bit of the brain but after reading some chapter I found it is so hard to decode the brain, just like the deep ocean and deep space. I’ll continue reading this book.

“AI will force us to redesign school.”
Demis Hassabis, CEO of Google DeepMind, says AI should teach knowledge while classrooms develop human skills.
Education shifts from standardized instruction to personalized learning, creativity, judgment, and collaboration.
AI does not replace school. It changes what school is for.
Reframing menopause from a biological "decline" into a strategic adaptation is fantastic. You did elaborate it well adding the genetic math behind it. You must have read Leonard Shlain classic: Sex, Time & Power!😄
Why did evolution give us menopause? And why didn't it give it to most other mammals?
