The collaboration started when Koning saw a Twitter video de Groot had made about bitcoin mining, and called him up.

I think of it as something more profound than electricity or fire.” AI translation is now so advanced that it’s on the brink of obviating language barriers on the internet among the most widely spoken languages.
