Years back I was at a deep learning conference and was reading Andrej Karpathy's blog during one of the talks. Demis hassabis had come in slightly late and sat at the last free seat that happened to be next to me.

He leaned over, asked if I liked the blog, and (slightly proudly if I remember correctly) mentioned that deep mind had hired Andrej for an internship starting soon.
