BOOM. I’m taking a shot and reaching out. Why? Because some of the best opportunities start with one conversation. My name is Jacob Paul Fry, Founder and CEO of Out Of Place Experience LLC, and we’re building something that combines television, adventure, community impact, environmental responsibility, technology, and human connection into one growing ecosystem. We’re producing our flagship series OUT OF PLACE, developing OOPXP.TV, building the OOP Movement, and creating a Trash Tracking platform focused on helping communities clean up the places we call home. Our motto is simple: Leave No Trace of Waste. Or as I occasionally say: “If you see trash out of place… OOPS, pick it up.” We’re actively building partnerships with sponsors, investors, creators, businesses, nonprofits, and leaders who believe positive action still matters. I don’t know where this connection may lead. Maybe a conversation. Maybe a partnership. Maybe a friendship. But opportunities rarely happen when people don’t introduce themselves. So here I am. I’d be honored to connect and learn more about you and your journey. Have an incredible day. — Jacob Paul Fry Founder & CEO Out Of Place Experience LLC Perseverance. Personality. Positivity.

Incredible progress, especially on agentic systems. Building production GenAI platforms in regulated environments taught me that capability is only half the problem. The harder challenge is governance around what agents actually do: authorization, grounding, audit trails, and the ability to intervene mid-execution. The SynthID adoption is also quietly the most important announcement here. Provenance becoming a cross-industry standard before widespread harm occurs is genuinely rare in tech history. The foothills of the singularity is a striking framing, and what gives me confidence is that the people building at the frontier are treating safety as foundational, not an afterthought.

Mind-blowing pace! 🤯

@Demis Hassabis + Demis, sending you this post — would genuinely value your perspective.

Just a founder who believes dialogue beats countdowns. Ishtvan Moysa

Dr. Hassabis, You wrote that agents and world understanding will be crucial for achieving AGI. I wonder whether AGI research may be starting from the wrong end of the problem. Most approaches begin with cognition, language, and human behavior. My work starts with a simpler question: what is the minimal form of life capable of continuing itself in a changing environment? From this perspective, reason emerges as a mechanism for navigating reality in service of life's continuation, rather than as a property of cognition itself. This raises a question that I rarely see discussed: should intelligence be derived from human cognition, or from the minimal functional requirements of life? I explored this idea in the work below and would be interested in your thoughts. https://zenodo.org/records/20573467

Kun Cheng I think AGI research may be starting from the wrong end of the problem. Human language, reasoning and consciousness are already highly evolved products. The more fundamental question is: what is the minimal mechanism required for life to continue itself in an uncertain environment? Once a system must obtain resources, distinguish useful from harmful and make choices, the foundations of reason already begin to emerge. Perhaps we should derive intelligence from life rather than derive life from intelligence.

Would love to connect with you to discuss speaking at Ai4 2026 in Vegas!

One thing I appreciate about frontier research is that it forces us to think beyond the next product cycle. The most impactful breakthroughs often begin as scientific questions long before they become commercial opportunities. By the time the world notices, years of foundational work have already been done. Innovation tends to look sudden from the outside and gradual from the inside.

Demis, thanks for sharing!

Just read The Infinity Machine and watched all your videos! Bravo!!!
