When they say that they're based in the King's Cross Knowledge Quarter what they mean is that they will share the Google's office which don't exist yet.

I think I will never understand the sort of mindset where you just say things regardless of whether you know them to be true. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Google+UK/@51.5246616,-0.1...

Have you ever said something which you didn't know was true? What was your mindset then? Come on, I'll wait.

DeepMind were acquired by Google but are still somewhat separate and are in a different building to that one without any Google logos on.

You're incorrect.

Is this meant to be a competitor to the just released OpenAI Universe ? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13103742

No, not directly. DeepMind Lab is a 3D environment that can be highly customized -- looks like its built on an old Quake engine. Their pitch seems to include a lot of real world task simulation. OpenAI Universe is made to sandbox and emulate existing PC software being used with mouse and keybaord input. At least, that's my non-expert understanding.

So if I want to make an AI for a game, I should use OpenAI?
