What does a dusty old computer in an orphanage have to do with artificial intelligence, Stanford University, and the future of humanity? More than you'd think.
This week, Shawn sits down with world-renowned neuroscientist, Stanford professor, former Google Brain and Meta researcher, and Emergence author, David Sussillo, for a conversation about one of life's most valuable skills: Connect the Dots.
David shares his journey from a childhood shaped by poverty, addiction, and orphanages to becoming one of the leading minds in AI and neuroscience. Together, he and Shawn explore luck, consciousness, what Google and Meta have learned about intelligence, and why even the people building AI don't fully understand how it works.
They also discuss Shawn's surprising story about the misfortune of winning a million dollars, how AI is putting unprecedented power into ordinary people's hands, and why understanding your own brain may become the ultimate advantage.
Because the biggest opportunities in life are often hiding in the dots you're not connecting yet.
