  Hi.

• 00:18

  Let's start at the beginning.

• 00:19

  Angela Duckworth.

• 00:21

  Yes.

• 00:22

  Gave us a few book recommendations, and one of them was a brief history of intelligence, evolution, AI and the five breakthroughs that made our brainstor.

• 00:30

  And I read the book and I absolutely loved it.

• 00:33

  And I've actually now read it two and a half times and been talking about it forever.

• 00:37

  And this is the author.

• 00:38

  Max Bennett is here.

• 00:39

  Max is an entrepreneur, a researcher.

• 00:42

  He started a company, Albie, an AI company, and he's very tall and very, very charming, very and shockingly and impossibly smart because this isn't really his field.

  And yet he's really done a masterclass on the evolution of intelligence.

• 00:58

  It's so fascinating and it's also broken down in a very, like, linear way, which is nice to follow.

• 01:05

  The five breakthroughs.

• 01:07

  So fun.
