Hassabis's advice to YC founders: the most defensible startups sit at the intersection of AI and 'the world of atoms'—materials, medicine, biology, and other hard deep-tech domains. These interdisciplinary areas cannot be reduced to wrapping a foundation model API, and they require real-world experimentation that the next model update will not displace.
