This is not an engineering organization. Deepmind is a research organization led by PhD Hassabis who is the obvious intellectual force behind the organization. All the pioneers of AI from Hinton to Goodfellow have PhDs in AI with a strong publication record. Core AI research is simply not an area where college dropouts like Suleyman can drive research. He is a non technical "manager" riding Hassabis coattails. If Hassabis can get work done without bullying, who is this dude?

I have to admire your arrogance. You know better than Hassabis about Suleyman’s value?

You want to judge the founders of the top AI group in the universe?

I am at loss for words.

FYI: Keynes is considered to be the most influential economist of the 20th century, and he had about a year’s worth of training in economics.
