Demis Hassabis Wants to Build AGI. Should We Trust Him?

When journalist Sebastian Mallaby approached Demis Hassabis, Google's AI chief and a man with a lifelong mission to build superintelligence, about writing his biography, he made the following pitch: "If you're going to disrupt people from head to toe, you owe them an explanation of why you're doing it. What motivates you? Why do something this dangerous?" Today, Sebastian tells us what answers he found. Sebastian's new book, The Infinity Machine, is out now.

Patrick Radden Keefe on a Double Life, a Gilded City and a Mysterious Death

In 2023, Patrick Radden Keefe met a man who told him, "I might have a story for you." When you're Patrick — New Yorker staff writer, author of "some of the most memorable nonfiction books of the last decade" (that's the New York Times talking) — this is a hazard of the trade. But he heard the guy out. The guy said he knew a family whose 19-year-old son had died in mysterious circumstances. "He went off the balcony of a luxury apartment building overlooking the Thames." When the boy's parents started looking into it, they made an astonishing discovery: Their son — a nice, upper-middle-class Londoner — had been running around the city posing as the son of a Russian oligarch. "This guy said only about that much," Patrick tells us in today's episode, "and I knew if the family would talk to me, this was my next thing." His new book is London Falling: A Mysterious Death in a Gilded City and a Family's Search for Truth. The Next Big Idea is now on YouTube! You can find our episodes ⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠.

The Emotion You're Most Ashamed of Is the One Worth Listening To

Most of us treat envy, rage, and shame like problems to fix — but psychotherapist Daniel Smith argues those "hard feelings" carry wisdom we can't afford to ignore. Then, in the second half, Harvard psychiatrist Christopher Palmer makes a bold case in Brain Energy that many mental health disorders are actually metabolic disorders of the brain — and that reframing could change everything about how we treat them.
